You do need the flashcal or Jscan.

On the swap- I don't know for certain, but I think us folks with the early manuals can accept any tcase. Verify it though before running with it.

I’ve heard it’s hit or miss on the flashcal automatic definitely yes but for the manuals there’s no need because you’re controlling shift points, anyone else out there that’s done this swap in a manual

My son had a 2016 Sport and installed my Rubicon transfer case in from a 2008. No issues. Fit perfect. No ECU changes.

Yes it was. Put it in and drove it. Early Ruby cases fit all 6 speeds. Can't remember how the autos work configuration wise.

I have a 09 Rubicon t-case sitting on the garage floor, you need any measurements?
