Man-A-Fre Transmission/T-case oil bypass kit: The Job

So last week when I checked my transmission fluid, I got the steady chug-a-lug of excess fluid coming out when I removed the plug. The T-case was also on the low side with no real signs of leakage. After searching the forum I came across the oil bypass fix for when the seal between the two goes out and the t-case starts pumping fluid into the transmission. This appears to be a semi-long term fix until you can drop it to replace the seal. I like coming up with fixes, but for this one the Man-a-fre kit seemed like the most cost effective way to go…figuring in my time and coming up with parts on my own.

This weekend I went ahead and did the job. Pretty easy to do, and I definitely noticed a difference when driving the rig afterwards. Very much smoother, and a clunking sound I was getting before was no longer there.
