Dave,

What year is your SX/4? 1981 was the only year for the SX/4 with the viscous coupling transfer case (NP119) and was a full time unit. 1981(opt) 1982/83(std) had the select drive transfer case (NP128) with an open diff transfer case. The other transfer case (NP129) was the shift on the fly transfer case with a viscous coupling and was avilible in 1984 and up. You can run your SX/4 in 2wd mode with the front driveshaft of.  It'll act wierd if you put it in 4wd with the front driveshaft out. Did it with my SX/4, it acted wierd, can't explain what it did, just that it was wierd. I've read the the NP 119/219, 128/228, 129/229 are the exact same transfer cases, just without shift linkage on the eagle. They share the same parts within their groups. I had a 119 apart many years ago and it had all the internals to shift into a low gear, just not the linkage on the outside. I think AMC/Jeep had them numbered diffrently to to keep Eagle transfers seperate from Jeep transfers. It's just 
 my opinion.

> thanks for the concern about the t-case. im aware of NOT driving it without rear shaft on. my wife has a mercury mountaineer. 5.0/aode. it has the same type of t-case. cept that one you cant take out of 4x4 at all. the eagle has the vacume lines, and switch on the left side of the dash to take it out. i was going to ask if the selectable 2/4 wheel drives still had the clutch in the t-case. i didnt drive it any at all. i just was riding the synchro in 1st gear, and it started to creep. just wanted to see if it felt like it would move.

(1/4 mile TOPS. only about 40 people live here) still got to work on getting all the gauges to work. does anyone have the little console that goes around the shifter?
