The seals are in the adapter between the trans and t-case. Drop the t-case with the adapter and reseal them both. ORD sells a complete kits of seals for a fair price.

Remember there's the "square" oring that is supposed to seal things up but doesn't work so you apply a nice coat of Right stuff to that Oring and the area around it to seal the adapter to the transfer case. Then I think there is a seal in the front of the transfer case to keep fluids from Crossing over.
Cool, thanks.
I hate 205s.

That's cause you've never had a 203.
Yes in the older adapter (with a bearing) has one press in seal and a "square" o-ring. Then the later has two press in seals and the square o-ring......Rightstuff FTW
The kit ORD sells appears to cover them both off.
Seal Kit #GU420 for the Adapter

Seal Kit #GU4082 for the NP205
Just my .02, but I swear that mine is still getting oil past the o - ring in the coupler even after replacing those parts. I don't know if someone can help here, but I would suggest looking closely at the coupler area. Mine only does it noticeably when parked for several weeks.
Was the coupler a tight fit? Maybe slather a little RTV inside of the coupler?

I'm not sure I ever had a case that didn't leak a little fluid in some way shape or form lol
I hate them for being heavy.
Just wrestled the one back into Brett's buggy on Saturday.
This thing doesn't just leak a little. It leaks a stupid amount. The transmission was a gallon low....
The 203 make the 205 feel like a featherweight.
You got that right...I have a 203 that was in my '77 GMC K2500 ,behind a 454--when I removed it to install a NP-205 ,I let it drop when I pulled it off the adapter with a ratchet strap..--it was "skipping" under hard acceleration,probably needed a chain ,and didn't care if it cracked..it didnt crack,instead it left a nice deep impression in the asphalt driveway where it landed..
That ingot gave me a hernia just dragging it out from under the truck,and getting it off the hand truck to put in a shed..
I only kept it in case I wanted to make a doubler someday,or maybe use it on a home made tractor or something..been in my shed 15+ years now...

I thought she wanted to put a 4 speed in it?

Rightstuff everything!
Craig put an nv3500 from a v6 truck in Fireball, aka the truck he has been wheeling while building the linked one on here, and after riding in that I think that is the way to go. It does pretty well in the sand, a 4500 would be the best, but they are way out of her price range. Most anything is out of her price range really at this point.
For now I just hope to keep the th350 alive for a bit. When its full of fluid it shifts well.
For the sand, an NV3500 would be better than an NV4500.

Why would you want an NV4500? It's a 4-speed + granny gear, with a huge split between 1st and 2nd, and fairly wide splits between the other gears. I'd think you'd greatly prefer the close ratios of an actual 5-speed in the dunes.

Is the 3500 a real 5 speed?
I dont want one so I have never researched manual transmissions as I really dont care lol.
Yes, 1-2-3-4-5 just like her Ranger. If her Ranger's a stick.
The NV4500 is usually 2-3-4-5. 1st is too low for normal use.
