I looked at going the other way when I swapped an AX15 in my 88 MJ and it
seems that there are a couple of PITA items that may bite you in your
process. These are from memory 5-6 years ago, so take them for what they
are worth.
1. I'm pretty sure that the np-232 is longer than the np-231 so you may
have
to change the drive shaft(s).
2. The input shaft to the 231 had at least 2 different spline counts -
Murphy says you'll get the wrong one if you don't check just what you need
first.
3. If you decide to change the tc input shaft, they come with 2 different
bearing types and 2 different gear patterns, so you'll need to check what
you have before ordering the part.
I can't tell you for sure about the tranny-tc bolt pattern, but the AX15,
AX4, and AW4 auto all have adapters behind them so I'd bet on a common
bolt
pattern.
