78 Bronco Transfer Case
I have a 78 ford bronco 4x4 automatic. It is the original transfer case and it works perfectly but leaks out of every hole in it. I put a new seal around the front output shaft but it didnt hold. The back is leaking as well. Has anybody else had this problem. I found a place that will either rebuild it or reseal it. What should I do? Could the shafts or bearings be messed up and causeing the seals to go out or what? What should I do?

78 Bronco Transfer Case
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 18-Mar-01 AT 01:15 PM (EST)[/font][p]I don't know much about the 78 or even transfer cases for that matter but I've got an 88 that leaked from the seals. I had them replaced and it was easy and inexpensive. So I would start by looking underneath to get a good idea of where the fluid is coming from and unless it is obvious its not just from the seals I would start there. I would also suggest that I had driveshaft problems (c.v. and balancing). So if those aren't in good condition they could at the least be contributing to the problem. Hope this helps. Unfortunately I can't be of much help beyond that. By the way it maybe helpful to specify which T-case you have. Good Luck

To rebuild the transfer case seals it is pretty straight forward. The transfer is cast iron and "bulletproof", no chains all gear driven. Check with a local transmission shop to help or do it yourself. Not a big job (until you feel the weight of that beast).
