hey guys just want ur opinions on the difference between these 2 cases. i currently have a 233, i will either upgrade it to a wider 1.25" chain, 6 planatery, Slip yoke eliminator.... or swap it out for a 243, do the SYE and whatever else i can do to beef it up..... but i will need a new adapter bracket.... is it worth getting a new adapter and changing to the 243 or is it not worth it and should i just build up a 233???

thanks for the input

do you mean np231 and np241 it might just be me but I have never heard of those cases do you have a new truck?

The 243 is a 241 but with electronic shift. New Process numbers its cases like so: every case is labeled xyz where x is the number of speeds, y is the case size and z is the method of operation. 1 is manual and 3 is pushbutton, I can't remember the other numbers off the top of my head.
