Well, I had to wait until this weekend to work on the truck, so I should (hopefully) have some good news to report later this weekend...meanwhile, here's a photo of the 'patient'...



We put it up high, so I can get under it (not having any indoor spaces or concrete on which to work...a true "shade tree mechanic", I am...); the house next door is vacant, so the flow of four-letter words that will sure to be issuing from under the Rover, will go unheeded...

Can you take clear pics of all sides of case trying to figure where mine is leaking

 

Mine has developed a leak too. Hoping it's the inspection plate or crush washer on the plug

 

Tom...my case is super-filthy, so I'm not sure if photos will be all that helpful.

Rob

 

FINALLY! After much griping, cursing and wrestling, I got the old one out...



And here's what the inside looked like:





And the "goodies" that were stuck to the bottom of the plate:







I would hazard a guess that this TC is officially toast.

Think those are bearing cage pieces??

A pic of the front would be great

Glad to see you making progress

 

Thanks, Tom. I guess those are bearing cage...I'm not real sure. I'll get you a pic or two of the front tomorrow.

Here's a pic of the inside of the replacement TC:



Looks mucho better.

Wow clean, think cleaner then mine, maybe you lucked out with a almost new case

 

I haven't forgot about those pics, Tom...it's been raining to beat the band down here for the last few days, and I can't get outside. :P

UPDATE: Just thought I'd fill you guys in on the Disco....I had a nice, clear weekend, so I broke out the tools, rolled up my sleeves, and dove right in....I'm proud to say she's fixed, and runs like a scamp! Here's a couple of videos, by my wife as videographer....







I want to thanks all you guys who helped me in this endeavor, as I couldn't have done it without you...the help is much appreciated, and my son is super-stoked.

This forum rocks!
