4wd Is Broken

Arent you worried about sticks and stuff snagging it?

 

No more than I worry about my brake lines, and with much less consequence.

 

on mine
front vent up to top of radiator
rear vent as high as I could go in fender well
since replacing transmission vents still in stock location . just wasn't high on to do things

 

No picture, but you thread in to the housing and insert a hose barb. Then you mount a fuel filter on the fender high up somewhere on the body and run a hose from the barb fitting to the filter. The filter keeps assorted crud out of the hose (bugs, mud, splash, whatever), and lets air pass in/out of the vent. Jeep started doing the same thing in the '70s, and they used a little plastic deally instead of the filter. Plastic Vent Cap

 

I can get you a pic of the filter on the firewall and at the vent.

 

Where would my t98 vent be?

 

my bad....meant transfer case..

 

I'd presume there is a seal between the T-98 and Dana 18, just like the T-18 apps. I suspect the transmission vents through the shift top, around the shift stalk. Not much you can do about that. I know that rain water can go down the shift stalk into the transmission, if there's no shift boot to block it.

 

I don't remember on the T-98 but most T-18's actually have a vent in the shifter top similar to what is on the axles. Once can be easily added also. Some do vent through the shifter stick and associated hardware.

The vent is just left of the reverse sensor I added to the T-98. You may need to rotate your monitor


The transfer case vent is in this picture behind the levers...

 

So, its november 1st, and 70 in wisconsin. i slapped some rtv fluid on my diff surface after i cleaned all the metal parts and oil/water mix out of the diff and slapped the cover back on. im off for some 2WD adventures!

My questions are:
1. do i need a gasket for the diff cover if im using rtv gasket maker?

2. When i go to order my spider gears, are they all the same? just order a set for a D27?

 

Jeep and Scout pinion and side gears with 10 spline axles are the same. Cannot answer for Volvo or other oddballs.

 

I only use RTV, works great. Sorry no answer for question #2.

 

And trying to find the shift boot for the T-98 is impossible. It has a longer throw than the T-90 and the boot rips. I am trying to find a big rig type bellows replacement for the one I have now. When I do, I will let everyone know what I found.

 

I am running a bellows style boot on my T-18 in my 3B from a Volvo 240. The opening is a little wider than the shifter, but it is really soft rubber; a hose clamp or even a zip tie would probably be enough to seal it. The base of the boot is square, so you might prefer to build your floor around it. Just an option.
