That is what I figure will be my eventual go-to. NV4500 was recommended to use AC Delco GL-4 75W-85, which has a GM part number, that is now obsolete. I was lucky to scrounge the last that my local GM dealer had and a few more on eBay to use in both the trans and t-case. The Redline looks to be the replacement.

GM MT fluid does have some mystical allure... Some of the Honda guys swear by it for their manual boxes. I can look up why...

CF lined Synchros.

Building little brackets for all these little parts.
I’m getting closer and closer but the end seems to always be a half step away.

Mine's been done for years and still not done.

Truthfully, I enjoy going into the garage and seeing this thing in its unfinished state.
It holds such promise!

I am sure the psychologists have a diagnosis for this...

I like looking at it, but not right now.
A while back I like a dumby I put a hole in the transfer case. Took it to a guy who told me I need to split the thing open and clean it before he could fix it. I didn’t wanna break all the freah gaskets doing this so he tried to do it anyway. Looked good when I got it back.

I have been putting the fluids in, diffs done, went to transfer case and it’s leaking from that spot!!!! So bummed. It’s a split case so I hear it’s easier but was not planning on this.

Good practice to pull the back of the case…that’s all I got!

Any good write ups on this endeavor?

I have a few of them, I'll post as I find them, keep reading.

Split Case Rebuild

I got a free split transfer case here on mud for a project and looked around but did not see a good thread on the rebuild of a split case so I figured I would do one. The plan is an H55 and a split case in a 40 that I am going ground up on and the truck is to be a camping/lite trail and...

Transfer Assembly with Pictures

Transfer Case Assembly with Pictures I'm slooowly assembling an h55/Toybox/TCase in my garage. I bought a used tcase to minimize my truck's downtime. I'd never disassembled a tcase so I was stumped for a while understanding how it worked and went back together. I wished I had some pictures of...

When doing an h55 swap, what do I have to do to the t-case?

Hey everyone, My 87 fj60 has been sitting in the driveway for almost 2mo now as the 3rd gear synchro is bad. I want to do the h55 swap, and I want to know what I need to do to the t-case? I think mine is worn a bit since I thin it might have run without a full amount of oil for a time, as...

H55 to split case question

Posted this in the 40 section with no luck yet... When I picked up my H55, the seller pointed out a little plastic 'cup' on his split case that drips oil on the 5th gear assy on the H55. I got home and didn't see the cup or setting for it on my split case (out of an 84 60). Do I need a...

Got a photo of where its leaking?

If its just a leak could you simply seal it up with JBWeld or metal putty from the outside? Transfer case isnt' under pressure and you just need to keep the fluids in right?

Wow Scrapdaddy!
As always thank you for the great reads. I am in the process of digesting it all!

 

[scrapdaddy]

I think one's missing, I'll keep looking for it.

 

[xtiaan2000]

I think I want to get it welded shut. My goal is to have zero leaks. augh!

Will be fun tho as I have my boy Dave in town and we will crack some beers and wrench on this thinng together.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Glad I did it.

 

[xtiaan2000]

So definitely needed to be done. Thinking that I will build it up on the outside such that I can clearance the inside with no worry of thinness. With no leaks is the key!

Notice the crack! Boy, if I had only know she needed such tender hands. Thought she was tougher than that.

Funny luck that the impact, whenever it was, was right on the spot that they clearanced for the 4-1 gears. Super thin there.

Now I will make it dumby proof.

Hopefully

Figure that I will fill up this valley a bit.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Trying to figure out how this sensor works. There is nothing that touches the end of the sensor.
