to the dealer, I thought it was the drive shaft seal but the dealer told me

went back to 2 wheel or neutral, told me they must of cut the O-ring and
the T-case was dry. Replaced the O-ring and missing fluid no charge. Went
back with the same problem, but worse, was dry again and this is when they

let it run low (dry) on fluid and didn't know it, and smoked a bearing
(many?) and stretched the chain. Stupidity on my part, on the plus side I
can still drive it, I just took off the front shaft, I think I may have
