Working like a whole mule to write this half-assed post

Found the cause of the tcase leak I last wrote about was the output shaft yoke seal being dry, hard, and leaky, the yoke having deep grooves inline with the seal springs, and a spline washer that was rotted and poorly installed.  The yoke wasn't fully seated, as well.


As you can see, the seal replacement is going well.  It'll be better tomorrow, when I return to the place where Eagle is camping across town, with the shop seal puller in hand.

Did a yard run in hopes of finding a suitable yoke, didn't, but discovered the existence of speedi-sleeves and how absurdly proceed priced they are.

Also got new trans lines for the Gremlin (kindly donated by a mid-90's Grand Cherokee).

I've been soaking in transmission fluid for the past three days. Going to sleep now so I can make it four tomorrow.
