Willys Jeep Fixing A Leaking Transfer Case… Again?

In this video I revisit an old video I shot over a year ago. I discover the sea surface of the front yoke was severely pitted. I installed a less pitted seal. I might have stopped the leak temporarily but it was not a permanent fix for the Dana 18 transfer case. By installing a Redi Sleeve I permanently fixed the seal surface of the yoke. This is a great fix for any old yoke and applies to most Willys cj2a, cj3a, CJ3B, and cj5 Jeeps!

we used to make our own sleeves during my apprenticeship in Switzerland 45 years ago since ready sleeves were not available. We installed them with gasket sealer on the inside to prevent seepage. We also did the same with the yoke. And we added the O ring. To prevent oil leaks during the repair, just jack the Jeep up to drain oil away. Love your videos. They are very informative, down-to-earth and pleasant to watch. And I appreciate your budget-friendly solutions! Thank you

Speedy sleeves have better wear properties than the original yokes, so a repair is often a better option. You did a nice job:-)

Thank you Jacob the information and the video on how to fix the leak problem with the front yoke on the transfer case.

I’m squarely in the ‘repair, don’t replace’ camp. Great vid. “Ain’t going to town on it!” That’s an old one bud.

[@mongomay1]

Good job.

[@mikep9032]

yep. I agree tith Michael. Repair manual I used said coating the yoke spines with RTV also helps prevent leaks

Just rebuilt my cj2a up here in Alaska.... when I did the transfer case I found a little r.t.v. on the washer does the trick for sealing the splines on the yoke....

I have put a lot of wear sleeves on heavy equipment easiest way to get them on if you can is put the yoke in a freezer if handy and in the summer time here in tx is put the sleeve on the hood of a pkup leave them about 30 minutes and just drop the sleeve on no fuss you can heat up the sleeve in a oven just don’t get it to hot

They make the same sleeves for the pinion yokes. After I changed the pinion seals, they still leaked. I had do the same thing on them. I think I paid $22.00 a piece from rockauto. They said they didn't have the front one, so I ordered 2 rears, the front was the same as the back rear. It's be nice when nothing leaks.

Good stuff!!!!

[@NickDowner]

Super informative! Thanks!

You should put rtv on the washer... this will keep the splines from leaking... put a good amount...

[@6226superhurricane]

you should've cleaned and put rtv sealant on the yoke splines

Hi , I used speedy sleves many times , they work fine .also those new yokes are most likely made in China or Tiwon .

[@LetsBuildaWillysJeep]

The day a Willys Jeep does not leak something must be wrong 🤣

[@Rubber_N_Smoke]

Is this the same as the rear yoke on the Dana 18? Mine dumps out the back
