Driving without rear driveshaft.
Long time, no post.
1991 4.0L XJ, Automatic Transmission.
A U-Joint failed and I dropped my rear driveshaft. I am driving now without the shaft because I have to until I can fix it.
I have read that I should place a stopper or seal at the transfer case to avoid fluid loss, but wasn't sure if this pertained to my year. One post even mentioned using a soda bottle. Is this correct?
Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

you dont have to place a stopper or anything. only if you have one of the older older model cherokees, not sure what specific year it was but im sure youll be okay cause yours is a 91..did you at anytime just take a look to see if your spilling fluid?? that should answer your question pretty quickly, but since the yoke is still there and your Tcase isnt open you should be good.

Once the yoke is gone there's a big hole... The seal fits around the yoke.
You need to not drive on the front only.
Buy a 6 dollar u-joint and fix it.
