If its leaking out of the back of the transfer case, and not between transfer case and tranny, that should be all thats necesarry.

If you have the space drop the drive line . You should have a tranny shaft poking out of the housing and the seal should be right at the back. 2 ways you can go. Get a good heavy screwdriver and lever out the seal or drill a small hole and with a slide hammer pull ot the seal. To fit the new seal use a piece of pipe That has the same dia as the outside of the seal tap the new seal in keeping it square to the hole. Tap in till level with edge of case. Check oil level and replace any lost oil as some will run out when you drop the drive line

SOURCE: Leaking transfer case..

First of all yes it will damage the transfer case with no oil in it or even low oil. if it is just a seal then it is easy to replace, but if it means splitting the transfer case this is not a job for the diy, unless you have experience with transmissions or transfer cases. It should not be too expensive to have the work done by a profesional. Which also give you a warranty.

SOURCE: There is a whining in

You must raise the car on jackstands on all 4 corners (lift or jackstands) and remove the fill plug from the side of the transmission. You will see 2 plugs - 1 higher than the other. The top plug is the one you want. Fill the casing until fluid starts coming out. Replace the plug, and re-test.

SOURCE: rear transfer case seal leaking...how do i replace it myself?

Rear output shaft? you should only have one transfer case :) Ok so put the ebrake on. Put the truck in neutral. Matchmark the yoke to the tcase. remove the bolts that hold on the ujoint. This should drop the driveshaft from the tcase. Use an axle socket to remove the nut holding on the yoke. Tap the yoke off with a soft face mallet. pull out the felt ring. Using a seal puller remove the seal. tap in a new one very carefully. reinstall in reverse order. ensure you torque the nut to the required torque aling with the ujoint bolts.

SOURCE: 2001 jeep grand cherokee leaking transmission

clean off entire area near where you suspect the leak is coming from, then look carefully to locate it. Try slightly tightening any bolts near the leak area after it's located If at the pan gasket do not overtighten or you will crush the gasket and it will leak more. Yes, it can be driven as long as you keep it full.

SOURCE: how to add fluid to a 2004 Saturn Vue transfer case

well if it is a v6.. the stick is on your right(as you stand in front) and way down. It has a yellow handle, but hard to see.

if you have v4 probably doesn't have one they are sealed.

How much does a rear trans seal cost 1995 jeep cherokee

4wd? which tranny? some are 2wd, you know that?
we can not guess that.
and the seal is free, the labor is 99.9999% of the cost.
if you work on 4wd cars, you learn fast what labor means.
ROB, the jeep dealer sells it, and is on line and you can see the cost there, any time , anywhere on earth (WWW)
here is the link. to one of 100s.

my 5 jeeps, 88 to now
all have 5/6speed and 4wd
what is yours? ive not a clue.
is the transfer case leaking (if you even have one)
is the trans leaking, rear.? as you say.?
on mine, if the tranmission rear leaks oil, its not the transmission leaking because , only the transfer case can leak, see?
it replaces the tranny seal with the transfer case.
on one old jeep the front xtransfer case seal can leak to the center section. so look under your car , and tell us, exactly the spot of the leak. even a photo speaks 1000 words , or more for leaks.
what i do is clean it first, drive 10 miles then look.
wind and gravity are not our friends here.

In some cases, its better to just let it leak
but again, no drive line options stated at all ,so can NOT advise.

1996 subaru legacy wagon 2.2 AWD leaking tranny fluid out of bell housing. Transmission lines not leaking. Assume it's coming off of the shaft on the torque converter. What seals could be leaking? & can...

I'm not sure about what gasket to check, but I've always left my manual tranny's connected to the transaxles and removed the axles at the transaxle. This made simpler by popping the ball joints out, thus allowing the hub assembly to swing away. Hope this helps.

My ford transmission has no leaks that i can see but i have to put transmission fluid in once a week??????????????? it runs fine but where is the fluid going?

It could be the rear main seal on the transmission where it mates to the motor. The motor may be burning off the leaking fluid before you can spot the leak. It could also be leaking out of the shaft seal as well, but you should be able to see tranny fluid all over the underside of the back of your car. You should be able to see it if its leaking from the rear main too, but like I said the motor could be burning it off before you spot it.

How much tranny fluid per week are we talking about? The rear main seal would require you to pull the tranny and then you pop the seal in, not too hard of a job unless you have a transfer case. Doing it in your driveway is not feasable tho because a tranny weighs a lot and I do not think you want to balance it on your chest in your driveway.

Tranny leaking fuild

No way to tell over the net. There are 10+ places where tranny fluid could leak from. You need to powerwash the car and then run it for 20min and get a more specific place where the fluid is coming from. And maybe we can help you better. Possible gasket, hole in trans pan, could be a line or at the radiator or hole in the trans or even a seal at the axles!!

Transmission fluid leaking back, 1988 Ford Bronco

your output seal on the tranny or input seal on your transfer case is bad. you have to pull your transfer case to tell. this is a pretty straight forward job. block wheels. put transfer case in neutral. drop front and rear drive lines.diconnect transfer case shift linkage. there is a short commponent connecting the trans to the transfer case. the bolt on either end face each other. remove the bolts to the transmission. the transfer case is heavier than it looks, i suggest getting help. pull back on the transfer case until it will drop down. it will pull out a bit because of the trans output shaft. replace what will probibly turn out to be the tranny output shaft seal and reassemble in reverse order.

Automatic transmission leaks on my 2000 Rodeo 4wheel drive Any help? Please

If you have never serviced the transmission, it just may be time to have the transmission fluid and filter to be replaced if the transmission fluid is leaking from the transmission pan. If it's leaking from the rear of the transmission where the drive shaft goes in to, then it's the rear seal from the transfer case and the seal needs to be replaced and the transfer case topped off with fluid. If the fluid is leaking from the front of the transmission where the engine connects to the transmission than it's a good chance that it's the torque converter or front pump main seal. The other place that it could be leaking from is the transmission oil lines from the transmission to the cool at the radiator. Please let me know if it's leaks worst when the engine is running or only when your parked for a few hours. Keep me posted, be glad to help.

Transfer case replacement

Make sure you set your parking break and block your wheels to keep the vehicle from rolling.Just drop the rear driveshaft, there are 4 bolt that connect it to the rearend and it should just slip outof the transfer case, unhook the linkage, unplug the speedometer sensor/cable, disconnect the front drive shaft I think that on this driveshaft there are four bolts that connect it to the front end and 4 connecting to the transfer case. I think that there are 4 or either 6 bolts that fasten the transfer case to the tranny once you take them off the case should just slip off. If you need to for clerance reasons you can take loose the transmission mount and remove the crossmember support and let the tranny hang down. Be carefull when you let the tranny hang down because tranny fluid will more than likely poor out so have a catch pan handy and watch it when you pull the transfer case off because your going to leak some fluid out there to and also this thing is heavier than it looks. Two people can probally handle it but I recommend using a floor jack of some sort.

1988 xj6 transmission front pump seal

The two seals should be fairly cheap. the seal itself shouldnt cost more than 5-10 dollars for each one. its a little round ring looking piece of metal with a rubber lining. to fix the front pump seal you'll have to drop the whole transmission and remove the torque converter which (will slide off without complications). the seal will be right behind the torque converter attached to the transmission... it should just pop out and the new one should just pop in. Fro the rear seal all you have to do is take out the drive shaft from the transmission and the seal will be on the end of the transmission.. it should also pop out and the new one should pop right in also. However, if the transmission was drivin with little or no tranny fluid and would not go into gear ..( meaning it would just go into high rpms and not move) your gears are probably shot. If it hasnt been drivin an easier way to tell if this may be the case is to look at the tranny fluid and see how dark it is. if it looks like motor oil instead of transmission oil its probably burnt up... if thats the case it will also smell burnt.
