96 xj auto tyranny. It has an 8 25 but is it a 27 or 29 spline? Thanks

Easiest thing is to pull the shafts and check.

96 was the switchover year if I'm not mistaken, it could have either.

[Trailer Ray]

Yeah I thought it was the year they switched but wasn't positive if it was 97. Ill just have to pull them.

I've had 96XJ with both 27 and 29

cross your fingers for a 29 splinezzzzzzz

[XJtheXtremeJeep]

Look at the year of manufacture... the later it is the more likely it is to have the 29 spline. if i remember right though Jon on the forums had a later manufacture date for his 96 and he was still a 27 spline.

it was made on a crossover day

Haha that's classic. I can see them in the factory like uhhh what do you mean were out of 27 splines? Take it out? Fuck that noise the other sides getting a 29. This made me laugh haha

[Mighty Quine]

ive only read that 97 was the crossover year but hey that could have started early

[Ktmracer419]

its mid-96

[Trailer Ray]

So the later in the year it was made the higher the chance of a 29 being in there pretty much. Not necessarily though

[Ktmracer419]

yep

i havent seen a concrete build date where they switched over
