There have been a few real cold days so far so maybe that's what did it. I found the official procedure for shaft seal replacement (attached) and it says it can be done without removing the transfer case from the vehicle which is definitely good news. Would it be safe to try some kind of "stop leak" type additive first? Attachments ----------------  W463TransferCaseSealReplacement.pdf (240KB - 32 downloads) | |

Yes. #170 is the one for the case itself. #100 is for the diff lock. (T^ransferCase.jpg) Attachments ---------------- T^ransferCase.jpg (109KB - 6 downloads) | |

Sounds like a 2 person job. Does anyone have the factory procedure for this job? Yeah, I have some original workshop manuals given to me by the original owner of my LWB and the transfer case section contains full rebuild instructions. The factory procedures are also in the workshop manuals available from Harald. http://4x4abc.com/Mercedes-Benz.G-Class.manuals/460.html -Dave G. PS - Oops - sorry, I see now the OP is probably talking 463. I don't have direct experience with the VG150 box but suspect its not any LESS involved than a VG080.  All manuals available here: http://4x4abc.com/Mercedes-Benz.G-Class.manuals/available.html in addition to online WIS I think (Dutch knows more than I) PPS - I guess it never occurred to me that a 463 would be dripping oil from the t-case seals. My 460,000 mile 280GE (on its 2nd t-case, a used one) doesn't drip any. A little damp in a couple places is all. Edited by hipine 1/12/2016 11:46 PM | |

Reading this thread convinced me to buy a Jeep Ecodiesel which is now my new daily driver while the G sits in the garage. :( Ha! That's funny. I still remember the comments of the Shockl test track drivers who drove both Jeeps and Gs manufactured in Graz up and down that mountain all day long. I hope the Jeep lasts long enough to save you the money to replace the G t-case. You won't be driving the Shockl every day, so that's a help.  I do think you were on the right track to check the breather. It's very unusual for the t-case to leak in such a young truck so there must be a special cause. A blocked breather pipe would be first on my list to verify as well. Remove the filler plug and put a high-volume vacuum on the breather tube to clear it. Check by sucking on the end of it with your mouth to feel if there's any resistance to air flow. There may be no need to replace the seals after all. Good luck! -Dave G. | |
