is this usa trans?
I think so.
the top flange of bell is stamped, no sticker is hand (or machine)stamped
Has a 59B R-1 stamped below the lever, only stamping I can see.
ran some very odd, transmission lube that was red. (sure seal failed)
may be he mixed GL4 and ATF in a toxic mess?
I think I took this to Jiffy Lube or some place like that in CA before I moved here. I used to have red oil leaks like that after, for a while. I think they overfilled the thing. Usually though any leaks were up under front universal case. So if they used that same crud in the others…would explain some things.
5th gear , rear seal is a plug, and can fall out. if the bearing goes wild (out of control)
Hopefully my bearing won't go wonky…though I do worry about the main shaft end one, since you have to rubber mallet on things a little to seat the case on, and get the bearing set inside those areas. But all is tight and nice wiggle wise, that's for sure.
I went out and got 3 transfer case seals so I don't have to worry about leaks so much. Installing now.
