    It's in the back of my mind that the T98A and Dana 18 do not share gear oil. Can anyone confirm or dispute that?

    If it's like the T-18, there is a seal between. No sharing oil.

    I believe the T98 and T18 cases are the same.

    Yes there is an oil seal positioned in the T98 /T18 to Dana 18 adapter plates.
    With a few exceptions ...The T98 was only mated to the small index bore D18's and the T18 was mated to a large index cases..
    The adapter seal itself is the same regardless.

    It's installed but haven't tried it out yet. Scope creep brought about bodywork, paint, hydraulic clutch conversion, disc brakes at the front and power lok in the rear. Wiring is next. Need to clean up, paint and install all the miscellaneous doodads too.

    To answer your question, eventually.
