Transfer Case Quote..

[ncbloodhound]

My transfer case is leaking and I took it to a shop today. They said the rear seal and the gasket need to be replaced. They estimated $275 in labor and $50 in parts. How does that sound?

I have limited skills/tools, is this something I should try to tackle myself?

Thanks for the advice.

labors the killer, the two parts are cheaper then the $50 they quoted.


as far as i know it is just pull the driveline, unbolt the back, replace gasket, remove old seal put in new seal reinstall tailshaft. replace driveline and check fluid level.

if it is a fixed yoke it is a little hearder since youhave to get the yoke off the t case.

Just rebilt my t-case yesterday. But if all you need to do is replace the rear seal where the slip yoke goes it is very easy. Pull the driveline out, remove the 4, 7/16" bolts at the axle ujoint and slide the driveline out. Then use a screwdriver to pry out the seal. Then use a rubber mallet to tap the new one in. What gasket are they talking about? There are four bolts holding the tailhousing on, and four more holding the spedo housing. They are easy to get off you just need some snapring pliers to remove the snapring that you can see when you remove the rear tailhousing. I jsut used rtv sealant.
Good luck!!!

when i did mine i paid 230 for a rebuild kit plus another 100 for a new chain from JB Conversion, i took it apart and then took it to a shop (broke my heart to do it) and gave them another 100 bucks to put it back together

The silicon between the 2 halfs of the transfer case.

You can do it yoru self. You have to pull it out. Then take out the plugs around the back, where the slip goes, theres snaprings, undo those, take out any sensors (if applicable) then unbolt the case halfs. Clean it, new silicone. Then put it back together.
Anyone...did I forget something?
