WTF is this

[KPT]

Pulled my t-case and this was sitting in the tranny tail housing right under the output shaft. Its some kind of spring but I have no idea where it came from?

M5R1 and 4405

It looks like a speedometer cable.

There is no speedometer cable on second gens though.

Do you have a break out diagram of the transfer case? I know that we have step by step sticky threads, but a quick diagram would be helpful.

I have rebuilt that t-case. Nothing that looks like that in there.

depending on the size, could it be one of the springs that they put in shaft seals? perhaps one broke somewhere?
