    Transmission gap

    There are no holes for those bolts missing to screw into? The Blue is your Torque Converter showing thru the crack. No way should there be a gap the dirt/mud will fill it up fast off road. Check ALL the bolts on the Bell Housing to make sure there tight!!

    CAT 3116 Engine Speed Sensor

    Thanks now I know what I am getting into glad I read the drain part before un/bolting that plate to look. How many Gallons are going to come out when the Transfer case is drained. Guess you could drain it till it is below the cover plate.

    Question about Rebuilt(?) TH-400

    Google Indexing/phasing Driveshaft's there will be pictures of the right way. You want them to be opposite so each one compliments the other turning and not binding. Make sure all the u/joints are seated the same.
