What years of NV245 will fit my '06?

[TrialByFire]

So much for my Moab trip I was supposed to leave for today. I grenaded my (second driver's side CV) and t-case this last weekend and am looking for a replacement TC. New ones are $1800 (ouch!) and have to come from MI.
What XK and WK model year NV245s will drop in to my '06?

You're probably better off getting a used one for sure. I don't think there was any change in the NV245 for the production run. Have you looked into getting a atlas retrofitted? Might be worth the cost if you're blowing them up all the time.

When you say "grenaded"... what exactly did you do to the tcase? If you burned out the clutches, replacing them isn't that bad.

Not sure what I did to the TC. 4-LO seems to work fine now that the CV is fixed, but in 4-HI it won't move and there is a pulsating slight tugging feel.

Drain the fluid... i bet its black with clutch material. If you don't have metal shavings in it then you're porbably just looking at a few clutches. In 4-LO more pressure is put on the clutches, so they don't slip. But in Drive, it sounds like they're slipping.

Since my Moab trip is off, I'll have some time to look at it this week. It would be nice if it's the clutch.

Good call! I drained the fluid. Looks pretty black (with no 'chunks'). Gonna pull the TC next. The clutch parts are in town and I might be back in business this weekend!
