Fuji Univance TX15A Trasfer Case Rebuild

Fuji Univance TX15A Transfer Case Rebuild

I am starting this thread to document my adventure with a TX15A Transfer Case drop, rebuild, and re-install in my 2006 Nissan Titan SE King Cab.
I bought the truck from my neighbor approximately 4 years ago. Due to a medical condition he could no longer get up into it. He had a work vehicle he drove most of the time. The truck was 6 years old with 45K miles. I bought it for $8,000. I found out later that I got it for less than half of book value. Although he had general maintenance done, he was not "Kind" to it. I started to get a pretty good "Clunk" in the drivetrain. I would experience it when I did a "drive, reverse, drive" 3 point type maneuver. When I started going through fluid changes of the Diffs, Transmission, and Transfer Case, there wasn't a whole lot of fluid in the case. No abnormal metal shards on the drain plug. There was a small drip coming from the case itself. I had a couple of loose bolts. It seems pretty common. Regardless, it needed a fill. The extent of the problem became apparent once it was brought to level. It was spraying all over the exhaust "Y" pipe. A smell I don't want to experience again anytime soon. Post 2: so what now?
