Help please!
Recently i replaced the t case on my 96 cherokee sport 4WD. It was running smoothly for 2 weeks and i did notice leaking from the rear of the t case. Driving home from school one day i began accelerating to about 60 then it started to feel like something flew up under my fender and started thumping so i pulled over. I waited and then took off agian and around 60 it did it agian. I pulled over agian and jumped out and looked under the jeep. The t case was letting off white smoke. I let it sit for a few days after driving it home and today i started it up and drove it and now theres a metal on metal scraping sound. I dont know much about cars at all but im guessing i just need to fix the seal on the t case then refill it with fluid but i rather get some adviced from more experienced people.
Thanks,
Andrew Ellis

It sounds like the T case lost a bearing or something like that . you need to open it up and see what went wrong with it . or just change it .

There are two large (7/8ths?) plugs on the rear of the TC. Lower is the drain, then the upper is filled with Dexron III tranny fluid till it overflows. You knew that, right?
