Can anyone isolate this leak?? Or, 'Depends' for an FJ40...

Danny,
Being you have the access to the top of your t-case as well as some time, maybe look into one of these "t-case saver" from Mr. @orangefj45 that @honk is mentioning. What is it they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?....It's just a thought.

Hope you get your leak solved and repaired quickly.

Cheers to Ya!

Thank you Rick!!

I was just getting ready to start a thread to find out who sold this and what it was called!!

Are you clairvoyant?!?

Hullo again Danny..

Checked more on your shift sensor.. (that thing on your transmission top-cover with the green plug).

Apparently it senses when you're in top gear and apparently it's conncected with "emissions control".

Here's where I found that..

4spd Trans - Additional electrical plug?

Shot Tom!!

Looks like emissions related.

The wire looks to be BY... The diagram shows that wire color several times... Once for emissions... So, I don't need it, but, I'll plug it in nonetheless.

Same as Bro!!

I've cleaned the tcase as well as I can, from this most awkward position, and can't see any cracks... I used a powerful light and a magnifying glass... So, I dodged a bullet!!

Thanks to @honk and @GA Architect for pointing me to the t-case-saver... It's good insurance to add, since I have the humo off and can easily install it... Especially since most of the bolts are already loose...

I just ordered the t-case-saver from Georg and he mentioned a "nose cone saver" that he also sells... I'm waiting to hear what danger the nose cone save dodges.

The new gasket will be shipped when sor gets around to it...

I'll spend the evening trying to straighten my legs and back...

Kia ora again Danny me ol mate.

Fellas over here in EN ZED are too tight-arsed to buy paper gaskets. We cut our own from bulk gasket paper (but a Weetbix pack'll do in a pinch).

Piece of piss to cut em too. (Some of us even use the "hammer-tapping technique".)

I'm buggered right now from changing the door seal on the missus's front-loader. Took me ages to realise how to work my way around it and get the bloody thing on without the side I've just finished slipping off again. And then further ages to realise it liked a bit of lube (dishwashing liquid) to get the surfaces to slide into their grooves properly.

Spose feeding my face with too many "Irish Wisky & Cream chocolates" (that our neighbour gave us for looking after her place while she was away) didn't help. (And another handicap was the cramped space preventing me from opening the front door more than half way.)

That 44 will be mint when your finished. Totally awesome in fact!

See ya Cuzz..

Kia Ora Tom,

Some of us over here are tight-arsed as well. I carry gasket material on the road. But, when at home, I hesitate to make my own, because I feel badly for the poor gasket maker and don't want to, as my English friends say, "make him redundant and put him on the dole". So, I paid for this gasket and the little gasket maker can feed his family for, at least, one more day... As can the shipping clerk and the shipper bloke.

I realize it's a piece if piss to make them, but frankly I was too knackered. I took a squiz and placed the order and Bob's your uncle!!

You're right, weatherstripping is hard yakka and pissing around with it, while pissed, will piss you off and the next thing you know, you will spit the dummy, with a pong!!

Dianna cooked hen fruit and oatmeal pikelets for brekkie and, I tell you Cuzzie, they were primo!!

I appreciate your kind words, 44 is coming along nicely!!

See ya Bro!!
