Over the past week I've noticed slight dripping of auto trans fluid. I thought maybe I had a leak from the AT. So I made an appt with a trans shop. I decided to check it out more closely tonight. Bad news. It's from the transfer case and from the drain plug area. I can see a hairline crack starting at the drain plug and that's where the fluid is dripping. I checked and the torque on the plugs is only 11 ft-lbs. I changed the fluid last year and am pretty sure I used a lot more than 11. I think the only repair is to replace the transfer case. What a pain!
Has anyone removed/replaced the transfer case? Can anyone suggest an easier repair? I don't imagine any sort of gunk, sealant or epxy would work very well.
