i had the transfer case out today to replace a leaking trans seal from the aw4. the case has dye added to it to identify what was leaking, but this is a bit new and not the same as trans didnt have the uv dye.

Ive never heard of the transfer case shift linkage leaking, is this a simple seal replace?

much appreciation for your help

 

Relatively simple, just awkward to get to. Basically remove the lever, pry out the retaining ring and o-ring. Here's writeup for the 231 with pictures on a Wrangler. https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/...ft-seal.31021/

 

thank you thats exactly what i was looking for, theres a lot of unfinished threads on this topic.

 

The Crown part numbers 4167963 and 4167964 are the same for the 231 and 242, btw.
