Plan is to find some cheap synthetic fluid (I wont pay $60 to fill my damn tranny) per what marlin told me before, and hope it helps.
As for the tc bearing, I already have a new x-fer case comming tomorrow.
now for the bigger question. That large bearing that is pressed into the case is a real bear to press out, and possibabally helped ruin this one. Should I replace the bearing, or just put my gears into the new case, or use parts of the new case in the old case. I cant remember, but where is the large bearing that is on the main shaft? Is it on the rear section of the case?
