Re: Transfer case recall !!
I couldn't find a part number for the sleeve itself (though I heard it exists and can be changed seperately), and I was in a rush, so I ordered the whole tailshaft housing with new sleeve included. That was about 100 bucks IIRC. It just bolts on to the cast iron main body of the Tcase. The Yoke is a 35 dollar kit that is part of the recall (which is why it's so cheap, used to be more like 80 bucks I hear. Makes the stock holders think they didn't lose as much money for thier fuck up as they really did) and I had my brother change that way back when, so I can't comment on how hard that is to do. Many people do this themselves, but alternatively you could easily drop the driveshaft and have a driveshaft shop do the work for cheap money. The new tailshaft housing also came with a new seal. This is really the best way to fix this problem, if you have sleeve/yoke damage. In my case the damage was pretty easy to see. The parts should obviously be perfectly smooth and free of defects. If yours are fine the bad seal didn't ruin them yet. If the yoke is the cause of the bad seal however, the new seal won't last.
This is why I recomend replacing/updating all three parts at the same time. Do it once, do it right. It is a pretty serious safety issue after all.
