Description

The Zumbrota Drivetrain RTC242J-1 is a remanufactured NP242 Transfer Case specifically engineered for 1987-1990 Jeep Cherokee and Wagoneer models equipped with the NV242 transfer case. This unit is built to exacting standards, featuring a 0.75-inch exposed length on the input shaft with 21 splines, a bolt-on front output yoke, and a 27-spline slip yoke style rear output shaft. It also includes a 1.75-inch speedometer hole and a 4-pin indicator switch in the speedometer housing, along with a 2-piece tail housing. Key tag numbers include 53004269, 53006097, 53006223, 53006228, and 53008223, with Hollander numbers 412-317 and 412-318. Zumbrota Drivetrain emphasizes quality through a multi-stage remanufacturing process. This includes pre-inspection for case cracks and wear, inspection during remanufacturing to meet OEM specifications, and a final post-build inspection. All units are cleaned using a hydro blasting and rinsing process for an OEM finish, and common wear components such as seals and bearings are 100% replaced. Units are shipped in high-density plastic totes to prevent in-transit damage. This transfer case is backed by a standard 2-year, unlimited mileage warranty, reflecting Zumbrota's commitment to quality, vision, and dependability. Buyers are advised to verify fitment manually or by contacting the seller with their vehicle's VIN, as specific application data may not be fully detailed in all databases. A core charge of $400 is applicable, with options to send the core in first or pay the charge upfront.
