So, I finally put the 1" drop from Rustys on my Transmission X-Member since putting my 3 " lift on a couple months ago. I was experiencing a horrible shaking/stuttering between 45 and 60 and a leak where the transmission and driveshaft connect.

My 96 XJ is a 2wd 4.0L with Chrysler 8.25.

What is the seal that I need to replace there called? Anyone have an O'Reilly's part number? I also want to put in some new U-Joints but don't have a ton of money, any suggestions there? Should I also replace the seal where the driveshaft meets the differential?

Thanks, and sorry for so many questions.

Hoping to get the parts tomorrow, but can't quite figure out what part I need. All the seals on O'reilly's website are for either a Manual, or a Tcase.

Its called the rear transmission seal.Pick up a cheap seal puller too,makes it a bit easier.

Sounds like the transfer case rear output seal. The only thing you need to pull to change the seal is the rear driveshaft - it's a fairly easy job, requiring a minimum of tools. If it takes you more than a half-hour, you should find out why.

best thing I can recommend is taking yours out and then having the auto parts store match it up because there is many different sizes from what I ran into and luckily I took mine into the store and had them compare.. My old seal had a part # on it so they finally saw that and pulled up a match in a cross reference book. Best thing I found to remove mine was a paint can opener from Home Depot or Lowes.. lol..??? I tried everything because mine was not wanting to coming out..
