Topic: Transfer case vs. ATF Stop Leak
The seals on my transfer case are shot, including the input seal. I really don't feel like replacing the damned things (the input seal involves dropping the whole thing off, and if I'm going to do that I may as well do the bearings, too - and I'm trying to wait out the bearings so that when they fail I have a good excuse to swap to a selectable AWD/4HI/4LO/RWD case instead of just 4HI/4LO/RWD.
Anyway, the case takes Dexron III, so I figure I'll dump some ATF stop leak in the thing. So I grabbed a 16oz bottle for $5.
The thing is, the t-case only takes about 40oz of Dexron. The instructions on the stop leak indicate that I should be using the entire 16oz bottle. That seems somewhat excessive for this application.
Any ideas how much of the stuff I should use, and how much I should dump into my leaky, dexron-loaded power steering system?
Edit: And what kind of assholes use 1-3/16 drain plugs? Hell, what kind of asshole uses 1-3/16 ANYTHING? The only thing I have that'll fit is a bulky adjustable wrench which won't clear any of the numerous obstacles. Even frickin' Harbor Freight doesn't sell sockets in that stupid-assed size.
