a dealer will replace a t-case for that price, at least one 3 years
ago in Sandusky, OH would....
what's leaking? possible seals involved would be the trans output,
tcase input, tcase front output and tcase rear output, as I recall.
From the pictures I have it doesn't look like anythink complex is
going on with the seals on the tcase. for the rear output, unhook
the drivesahft from the rearend, pull it off the splines, pry the old
seal out and pound in the new.
for the front output, disconnect the front driveshaft from the tcase,
pull the yoke off the tcase (harder than you might think), pry the
seal out and pound in a new one.

call a dealer with the VIN to check, but I don't think 97-99 are
covered.
