It didn't leak until I pulled it to rebuild the engine, also the 4th gear is hard to come out of, not sure if it's related. Thanks for any info.

Any motion? 1987 Raider - Roxy 1988 Mighty Max 2.6L Turbo - Pearl 1997 Mountaineer V8 - Freddy 2000 Excursion V10 - Freya Re: Rear transfer case seal [Re: 87Raider] #1104388 06/09/18 09:41 PM Joined: May 2009 Posts: 56 Las Vegas NV 8 87Raider OP Getting the Wheeling Fever What's the easiest way to check it? Do I have to pull the transfer case?

Also the bolts were lose on the shifter and it always had issues with going into 2nd gear, if you pulled it towards you when shifting it kinda went into nowhere. You had to pull it straight back into 2nd. Now that's it all tightened up it seems to hang up in 4th. Trany has about 40k since rebuild.

I believe that's what was destroying the seals. Now to order a new seal, I had a extra mount on the shelf and now it only moves about a millimeter. Thank you Sir..
