While I was away [in the Army] my 97 XJ 5spd needed to have the tcase adapter seal replaced. No big deal. A friend of mine who owns a 2-bay shop said he'd take care of it for me; he discovers additional leaks from around the case halves (my words not his) and he sends it to the tranny shop down the road. Tranny shop claims that the tcase is also leaking from the case in the same manner, and while I'm away and totally off the grid, they dismantle, "reseal" and reassemble (*not* rebuild) the tranny and tcase. I forget the price but it was some infuriating am't of money.:flamemad::bs:
I get the truck back, slap my former friend, and when I inspected their work, I discover that the tcase is filled with a thick, Ghostbusters-Ectoplasm-green fluid. Not an oil and water mix like you see with contaminated oil sometimes, but a consistent ugly baby-sh** bright green. uke:
What IS this stuff???
And feel free to comment on the above story. :wstupid:
