- 1979 CJ-7, Newly rebuilt AMC 360!, fully rebuilt GM TH400, Quadra-trac TC w/Milemarker 2x4 conversion, AMC mod 20 rear w/1 piece Moser axleshafts, mod 30 front w/tie rod flip and castor correction shims, 4 in lift, Centech complete wiring harness, dual electric fans on 3 core aluminum radiator, tilt steering wheel, 20 gal poly gas tank, new J20 steering box, MSD 6A ignition combined with TeamRush distributor mods
The following is probably a dumb question.
My quadra trac T case had a leak at the front output yoke... While my tranny was off being rebuilt, I disassembled the Transfer Case , and put a seal/gasket set in it. I just put the Transfer Case back in tonight, filled it up with ATF, and there is already damn drip coming from the front yoke.
The question is this: could there be there enough wear on the O.D. of the yoke stem (where it is supposed to make good contact with the seal ) that it could cause a faulty seal? It would seem unlikely to me that it is leaking between the metal seal "frame" and the Transfer Case housing. But it seems equally unlikely that the contact area at the rubber seal would wear. But all I know is there is now a small puddle of ATF under it and I am too tired to lay there and watch it drip. I havent even started the engine yet and already have a drip!!! AARG!!
Before I put on skid plate and driveshafts, I guess I'm now looking to replace the front yoke?
any thoughts are welcome...
