First we'll do the parts guy thing:
94 YJ 4.0 I-6, AX-15.
Please Read On- its long, but I could really use the help:
A couple months back I was leaking ATF out of the t-case pretty bad... so I pulled tranny and t-case and replaced the faulty oil seals (one on tranny was bad too, but you could only see the ATF as it is a lighter weight fluid and leaks in place of the gear oil)
Soon after, I've got synchromesh fluid (what is now in the transmission) coming up through the inspection cover... not a large amount, but enough to be noticeable. Is there a seal that needs to be replaced?
The heat issue kinda died a little (it used to get warm enough to melt plasic to the tranny hump), but the tranny is starting to make a little noise now.
So I've got a few questions:
1. Is it worth rebuilding, vs. replacing the whole unit... I'd rather do it right and not have to worry again, but if a rebuild will solve it... so be it.
2. My driveline angles are steep as it is... and I wanted to run one of those new 4 speed atlas t-cases eventually... is a 3550 longer than an AX-15?
Anyway- looking for some advice or ideas; please let me know your thoughts. TIA
