Ok little update on the B2. It moves. It still leaks, but it moves. Got it in the garage so I can finish up the rear axle and install the rear driveshaft.

Glad to see that it moves but it now has a redneck GPS that tells you how to get home.

Got the rear finished up and drove her around the neighborhood. Still leaking like no other. Not really sure what to do about it.

I probably should have. I would be on the trails right now. But I'm already committed to the auto now.

the doubler and 4.56 on 36s i would think should be more then enough to avoid clutch use and basicly drive ad an auto anyway

if your front seal is still leaking, and you didn't live so far away, I have a good pump housing I could send you.

After doing some research, I think it may be the bushing that sits behind the seal. I did notice the TC being a little "wobbly" after installed. And since I still don't know jack about autos, I didn't think anything of it. But apparently if the bushing is worn, then it wears the seal uneven and puts more fluid pressure on it.

I ordered a new bushing and I am going to pick up another seal. Hope to tackle that Saturday.

Old bushing was shot. Nevermind the damage from removal.


New bushing. Supposed to have a layer of brass.

Maiden voyage successful. All thats left is to fab up a shifter, weld shock tabs on rear axle, and get my 36s mounted. The 35s are pretty cracked and dry rotted from sitting.
