ok, Called today and ordered a new rear seal, and a pair of T-case output seals for good measure, I have one seeping.
so now its measuring ID/ OD of the adapter and the seal. the answer is the trans should never build enough pressure to push the seal out of the seat.
and I'm not above the thought that My install could have been suspect. I've installed many seals in many applications. we will see.
I had one other option, if the output shaft on the trans moves and I didn't get the coupler on fully it could move enough to push the seal out of the seat. Does anyone have any info on this?
Thanks.
