[QUOTE="smgager, post: 428542, member: 19275"] Yep. The NP231 in the YJ is disengaged from the transmission in neutral, but the front and rear are still engaged. If you have an open differential in the from with the CAD flat towing is OK because the drive shaft wont turn. The differential just spins the half-shaft in the axle. In the TJ the NP231 has a true neutral so you can flat tow with a solid shaft or locker. You can put a TJ shift selector plate in a YJ NP231 to give it a true neutral. Here is a link showing the shift selector plate: [URL]https://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/transfer-cases/np231[/URL] It is a lot cheaper than manual hubs. [/QUOTE]
