annoying TC leak

[mjeff87]

among other things that leak on my MJ, there has developed a new leak from the side of the transfer case, right around the shift rod area. In fact, I believe it is leaking from the bushing on the shift rod that goes into the side of the case. I picked up a new bushing from the dealership (what an experience that was), and there's supposed to be an o-ring behind it that no dealership has in stock, but there's no way I can see to replace it and get to the o-ring without disassembling the case. I tried pulling one off a junkyard case one day without success.

 

Anyone else's leaking from there, and know how to fix it?

 

I'll get some pics tonight.

 

TIA,

Jeff
