I was just thinking of my last response on this problem. There IS a drain
back hole in flat vertical plate with the bolts in it. It has to line up
with the bigger round opening below the bearing and cant be covered by a
gasket. It allows the oil to drain back to trans case from bearing which =
is
thrown off it by a "slinger" behind the retainer. Is that what you guys
mean? Don't cover it! I couldn't find a new gasket, had to make one, make
sure you cut the dip in it for around that hole. The trans has no front s=
eal
just this slinger and hole to drain back. Otherwise oil will get on clut=
ch
and be a big mess.=0D
