I don’t rcall if you have an auto and manual, but I believe the TC is ATF fluid, so make sure to check the TC for a leak.
What did you do to your TJ today?

Getting ready for Winter I changed to oil and filter. I also topped off the fluids. I have had a slow leak on one of my tires and I dropped it off at the local tire company this afternoon.
Winter is coming...

Brake cleaner is your friend when looking for a small leak. Spray both the trans ( can I say that here) and transfer case down and let it dry. Then put some clean cardboard under it and you should be able to locate the source.
That's the plan.
1. Prop up the transmission
2. Drop the skid plate
3. Spray everything off with brake cleaner
4. Clean up the mess
5. Let it sit like this for a few days
6. See where it is dripping from
Check it 2x daily. ATF/oil likes to spread out and can make it hard to pinpoint. By the time it’s a drip on the floor, it will have flowed around some.
When you start to see a shiny spot, use a white rag to confirm it.
Throw a couple of sacks of flour on the bed and roll the tranny in it.
No, wait . . . that was a girl I used to know.
Sorry . . . never mind.
There were a couple of very fluid weekends back in college.
Don't ask, don't tell . . . at least don't ask for details.
Replaced oil sending unit on the daughter's 2004 Sport. Some mornings, the old one was not showing any oil pressure at all!
I did that awhile ago. It wasn't hard, but just annoying. because the angles were odd. Did you end up going from the bottom or the top?
Bottom. I had to unscrew the whole unit out with the wire attached because the red locking tab wouldn't budge. I found that there was quite a bit of dirt in the locking tab that prevented it from unlocking. Once I sprayed a bunch of cleaner on the connector, it was able to move and I was able to remove the connector. It was quite a pain for a simple task. I like the old units like my 1998, they're in a better spot near the oil filter.
Meet Mason Of Peach Creek, our new black and copper tri- color Australian Shepard.
He’s only 3 weeks old so we won’t bring him home, in the TJ of course for another 5 weeks
Uh, yea - I think I have enough details as it is...
As Charlie Robison used to sing:
I know a girl here in Laredo, her name's Pussy Willow Rose
She got that ring around the collar, got that ring stuck through her nose
She works there at the Dallas Cowboys, but she's got no in between
Like all them other boys in dresses, they ain't every Cowboys dream
Drove it to work (first time since it's big upgrade) and found I haven't found the suspension issue causing darty driving yet...

Haha … they have to test the seats and seatbelts are secure
Edit .. it’s one of those things we’re if I have Seatbelts attached in the back they need to test them with the seats… if I take out the seats and belts Murphy’s Law states I will need to put it back in 2 days later coz my kids will want a ride.

This stuff has worked great for me for years. It’s holding up my Speedo healer on the side of the PDC under the hood and was holding up my wideband gauge on the dash until I removed it a few days ago (it was on there really good).
The top and doors went back on the Jeep today. It is a sad day.
