NP 241 problem

[TRUPPE]

I have a 90 Blazer with a NP 241 problem. When coming to a stop there is a clunking sound coming from the case. It only occurs when in two high, not in other ranges. I am prepared to rebuild it; however, I am not sure what parts I should anticipate on replacing. I cannot afford to have much down time and would like to repair it quickly. I would like to know if others have had similar problems and if so what is the solution. Any input will be helpful.
Thanks,
TRUPPE

Are you sure its not something else? Take a look at the slip yoke, that could be causing the noise too as it sliders across the splines, especially if the yoke is worn.

Just did all that to my 89 w/241...

Bearing/seal kit...$111
Chain................$80
Range fork.........$58 (yours is probably stamped 338)

www.nationaldrivetrain.com ...ship from Atl and Chi...if you have a Tax number as a business, Motive Gear sells wholesale only...I got a good exploded view of the TC with a parts list from their site

It's all snap rings, so have a good pair of snap ring pliers...I used a wooden dowel to gently tap the bearings in/out

Takes about 30 min to drop it (80#), 3hrs or so to dismantle/remantle, 30-45min to reinstall....I have a heated shop and air tools, but I did it on my back with a creeper...it's a heavy sumbitch to have on yer chest for very long, but I'm an old guy

Tricky replacing the pump...I placed the o-ring on the tube, put the tube in the pump, and reinstalled the pump/filter/back half as a unit...couldn't figure out how to do it any other way and get the dang tube in the pump...lots easier than it sounds...email me if you'd like a cell number....K5Jimmy@yahoo...

I am Not a mechanic...I just work on stuff...TC is really pretty easy, but a couple of the snap rings are a PITA...have fun, and good luck
