transfer case leaking at rear output

[camP95]

Hi guys. My transfer case seems to be leaking where the rear drive shaft goes into it. its all greasy around the area. Also i pulled out my vehicle speed sensor and it was plastic. the sensor had pieces missing off of it. I reached my fingers into the t-case where the sensor goes in and there seemed to be pieces of broken plastic and grey oil that smelled like gear oil. Im worried that theres some internal damage in my transfer case, although it seems perfectly fine when i go 4x4ing. I cant figure out why this would of happenned. Thanks for your reply - cam

Replace the sensor with a new one and put a output shaft seal in your T-Case. They go out a lot (well maybe not a lot, but they do go bad)

One thing to be aware of on the 13-54 T-case.

All three seals are the same P/N

The input shaft and both front and rear outputs use the same seal...

Isn't that convenient?

That transfer case should not have gear oil in it, but ATF

I've disassembled a couple of t-cases that some idiot filled with gear oil
and the extra drag on the oil pump caused the drive key to shear off, but not before it basically wasted the oil pump housing...

Drain that oil out of there as soon as possible!

thanks for the response guys. I bought an overhaul kit for the t-case and i've filled it with atf recently as I found it was low on fluid. hopefully it never had gear oil in it.... ill find out soon. cheers - cam
