I looked front, back, top, and bottom with and without a light and no numbers. Is there any way to tell by tooth count or something like that? Maybe I need to take something apart?
I did notice a distinct shiny ring on the bull gear similar to the one in the picture that michael posted, but even more obvious. Also there is what seems to b a perfect imprint of the output shaft from the t-19 on the gear in the transfercase. When I put this whole thing together a year ago, or whatever it was, I did use a shim but maybe it wasnt the right one? Maybe it needs to be thicker? The transfercase is in the shop now so any bearing preload issue should get resolved but maybe you guys can sell me the the good and proper gasket.
