Other than buying an atlas or another case, what other options do I have other than the Tera 4:1 kit? There has to be something out there thats less expensive, something thats maybe just gears, chain and seals. Something that I dont have to pay for the whole other half of the casing...

shop around for a D300 or another 231 and get a doubler kit. I have the DD machine doubler kit with a 231 and a 205 in my rig, love the gearing and its pretty damn strong too.

Actually the ones of us who have reds are the ones still running 231s with no problems and the two that are running 300s are running 39" bald TSLs and 42" iroks and they both have broke multiple ones.

Re: Re: Re: Modifying the NP231...
yes, I am running a different intermediate shaft. The 205 was a PITA to put behind it because of the shift rails. I ended up notching the 231 case around the shift rail and made it work that way....also mine is clocked upside-down, so the vent had to be plugged and moved.
I had the 231 Tera Low kit in my S10, so I had to get the 23 spline output shaft in my trans since the input gear in the TL kit is a one of a kind piece....I destroyed that case in harlan...lol it was worth the extra work to get it in there, I love the gearing options and the strength.
The 231 I have has the 6 pinion planetary in it, so it is basically a cheap version of a KluneV.

Re: Re: Re: Modifying the NP231...
sweet, does duffy sell the intermediate shaft or did you have it made?, and all the 231s in the s10 late 23 spline? I've been looking in to throwing a 6 gear in mine while it was open. Can't hurt to have more strength1TONZR2 said:

as far as I know he still sells that shaft. There are actually a couple of other companies starting to make doubler kits like this as well....search a little on pirate4x4 in the vendor areas.
The 231s that were in the earlier S10s (not sure of the year range) usually have the 6 pinion planetary and the wider chain in them already, but they are 27 spline input gears. ...but for me to use the Jeep 231 Tera low case, I had to have a 23 spline output shaft. The 241 also uses the same planetary. In hindsight, I should have saved my money for an atlas...but whatever. I am very pleased with my current setup. I have a damn good crawl ratio with 5.13s in the axle with low low, but I can drop the 231 into hi and 205 into low and get some wheel speed when needed. If I am just cruising around, I usually leave the 205 in low and thats it. The 231 in low and 205 in hi, makes for a nice gear for something that can be crawled, but might need a little bump in there somewhere. low low is the **** for going down hill too....

I have a fully done jeep style 231 D&D kit with shaft to 300/231 on the floor, case welded up and all. $400 takes it and its ready to rock, never ran.
