Don't know what that transmission is but I'm pretty sure it's not a T18.
Grizzlybeaver's been my reliable DD more days now and getting more hwy miles than I ever hoped while Gene's can't seem to get my Jeep right. What started as a simple inner axle tube seal R&R is turning into a giant fiasco. The new seal leaked worse than the old, then the u-joint in the shaft blew a cap. They put in another seal, but the u-joint looks to be spinning a cap unless the tech just didn't get the snap-ring in right (I'd give even odds on either possibility) but regardless, the brand new u-joint is goobering out it's grease...so he likely screwed it up on installation. The tech swears the stub shaft must be bad. The icing on the cake is the bright blue RTV boogers framing the front diff cover and all 10 bolts for all the world to see...really blingy if I had a blue Jeep...
So long story short, guess who's going back tomorrow with a flash drive full of pictures and arguing for a whole new shaft...
