Hey Jeepsters,
While servicing my T-case I noticed a leak coming from the transfer case shift shaft. Anyone every replace that seal ?
Looks like it requires T-case removal ? How bad is the removal....?
May as well change all the seals if it has to come out..
Also, Is there a seal kit available which includes the shift shaft seal ?
Everything else is dry.

 

Nobody has had this seal issue ?
2001 model I-6 w/NP231

 

Sorry can't help ya.

Try NAXJA.org.

You have a lot of XJ tech gurus there

 

hmm trying to push someone away

 

No worries not goin anywhere. just looking for some good advise like I have rec'd in the past on this site.

 

my shift shaft leak went away with a new fluid change.

 

Nope just trying to help a Jeeper.

If we can't help him I know a site that can.

 

The shift lever can be removed using a 1/2 or 13 mm wrench / socket. Behind the lever and around the shaft you will first find a plastic sleeve and then an o-ring. With a pick and some patience you can remove them from the case and with an appropriate size sleeve, some lube, some more patience, and a little luck, you should be able to reinsert the o-ring. The sleeve will go right in after that and then you button her up......

 

thanks , gonridnu

 

mines leaked ever since ive got my jeep 2 years ago and its weird every time i check the fluid its allways full

 

Mine leaves a 1/2 dollar size puddle everytime I park it. Its been about 3 weeks since I found the leak with very little change in fluid level. I just hate a leaker! Ordered new o-rings and stuff. Will try my luck next week
replacing the o-ring.

 

Hello all!

I hate to resurrect a 9 year old post but have any of you tried this repair with the T-CASE still attached to the XJ? I just would like some pointers. Or is it really just use a pick to remove old and then install new O-Ring?

Thanks in advance!!!
