Transfer case seal is killing me

[Bear Down]

Nope! No grease in there to my knowledge.

Bad angle on the photo I believe that’s a rubber bushing on the end of the shaft

Also, speaking on that “rubber bushing”? Does that need to be replaced, and what do u thinking about those marks I mentioned on the previous images?

That looks better! I would do a couple of oil changes on the xfer case about 100 miles apart. It would help to flush out any grunge gently. In fact if you can take it apart to look around it might not be a bad idea. If the input screen for the pump gets clogged up it'll tear up pretty fast. Not a full rebuild just a good scrubbing inside. I did a 263? last year and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

I would just take the rubber thingy (too technical?) off, wipe it off and check for damage. It's prolly fine. If you put a smidge of gasket sealer (I like Gasgacinch) on the seal before you put it on it should be fine. Check after 100 miles for seepage. Don't put sealer in the hole only on the seal itself because the excess will be pushed into the t case.

cool beans, thanks. So with the sealant those dings shouldn’t be a problem, if I’m understanding correctly?

Much better. I couldn't really tell in the first pic but it looked like the t case was making silver metal paste. odd angle/shadow/depth perception.

My 1991 WT v6 5spd had a leaking rear output shaft seal. I nicked up the housing and used oil resistant gasket/rtv in the housing on my second try. Then I noticed the yoke/output shaft cap/plug was leaking and cleaned and sealed it with the rtv from the outside(did not take apart). It's dry now but next u joint may redo these seals properly

Good evening buddy got it out did make a few marks on the inside. Should I be concerned with them?

I would have bet my left nut I saw a lip in the picture. Glad you got it out, sorry for the bad advice.

It'll be fine. The periphery is where the sealing is.
