As many people have found out, once the seal between the transmission and transfer case fails all the oil eventually pushes it’s way into the tranny, starving the t-case of oil. And this leads to excessive wear at the minimum and catastrophic failure at the worst. Fortunately there is an easy fix if you are not in a position to replace the main seal.
I bought my kit from Specter Off Road. The kit comes with a bypass hose and fittings that allow the excess oil in the tranny to flow back to the t-case and ensuring it’s continued survival.
All you do is replace the fill plugs with the new fittings and install the hose. I did shorten the hose so it did not hang down so far and made a smooth downhill run back to the t-case.
