I will probably end up taking it to the shop to get it inspected but can you please PM with more information about the service you attained from Shep? I was going to go with that route since I will be pulling the tranny this winter. Thanks.

 

No problem, pm'd!

 

Update: Now the car doesn't even shift into second gear even when it is turned off. Could this be due to the shifter base being broken? I glued everything back together and will put it on once I get home to test it out. I am in the process of buying a used one as we speak.

 

Update: Well I have been taking the car apart for my build and when I drained the ACD there was barely anything in it. It was sludgy and a dark grayish color. Could that have anything to do with the car not shifting into second gear?

 

it might be ur 2nd gear syncro thats not locking the the gear to the mainshaft therefore not allowing u to shift

 

If your TC has never been out, I doubt it's the smaller or larger o ring between the trans and TC.


Have you checked the seal from where the drive shaft enters the TC? I had a leak there and it would drop right down onto the exhaust.


Is the leak between the TC and trans, or is the fluid further back?

 

Thanks guys but I have figured the problems out. The transfercase is leaking due to a tiny pin-hole. I also took the transmission apart and it is the second gear synchronizer spring. It has quite a bit of play and will not let the sleeve go over it.

 

I am having the same problem now. Let me guess, the seal where the drive shaft enters the TC is cheap, but requires $1000 in labor? Any ideas? -stuie

 

Did your down pipe rub onto your transfer case?

 

Ok, change in answer. The DP melted a hole in the TC. Crap. Anyone else had this problem? It's the AMS 3", and it used to clear the TC fine, but no longer.

 

Yes I had this problem. The solution I have for you is to replace the top cover on the transfer case along with the gasket and hammer the shiznit out of the down pipe. That's what I did and problem solved!

 

hey my tc is leaking were from where the tc connects to the tail of it can anyone tell me what all the torque specs are so i can try to torque it down again and see if that fixes it cuz im realy getting tired of this car leakin and not bein able to get it to stop please help
