A: 241 does indeed share pattern with the other 6 bolt round cases. I have one that I test fit to my 727, 999, and AW4 23 spline cases. The NV241 DHD came with 23 or 29 spline inputs (I'm kicking myself because the one I had and sold was 23 spline and I didn't check because I was told they only came 29 spline (AAARGH!) The Dodge 4x4 trucks with Cummins and 727 came with 23 spline (non-turbo) and 29 spline (turbo) till '93ish. The depth of the input gear changed @'93 and they added a centering shaft to the trans end. The tcase doesn't need it. (The '93 1/2 42RE I had was this way with NV249 tcase and 23 spline. It fit the '96 AW4 fine so it was a deeper input than 727) From: adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Sandwich Maker) Subject: Re: [AMC-List] 79 CJ7 Transmission ID ??

Now I'm thinking AMC " V8/tf727/nv271... hmmm... afaik all np/nvg t/c since the 207 have the same 6-bolt pattern and -most- have 23 spline inputs, but a few are 21 spline and the top end [like the 271] have 29. what tranny did they hook it to? i don't think there's a 29-apline output for the 727, though aa or novak might have something. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _________________________________________________________________ Get FREE Web site and company branded e-mail from Microsoft Office Live http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/mcrssaub0050001411mrt/direct/01/ _______________________________________________ AMC-List mailing list AMC-List@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list or go to http://www.amc-list.com
