Hello there, I'm wondering about getting a tranny rebuild for my dual range 4wd 5spd 1986 Wagon. The 4th gear isn't wanting to go when shifting down, unless I put it into 3rd first. Also, it's leaking fluid from the pan and the hi/lo gear selector. I haven't seen any rebult tranny's so does that mean no one knows how or parts are unavailable? Please let me know. Peace, Yuba49r

Hello there, I just replaced both my front axles & both sets of bearings/seals, etc. I just went to the local NAPA. They have a brand named EMPI, so far they've handled all the dirt roads and snow I've thrown @ them with no problems. If the advice listed here doesn't work, it's not too hard to change the bearings. Just get the steering knuckle out, takes about 30 minutes take it to the machine shop with new parts, label the inner/outter seals for the guys @ the machine shop. It was pretty easy, the hardest part for me was getting the axles back in. The replacement axles didn't have a bigger or smaller size hole for the drift pin, took a couple of tries to get it lined up without the tapered drfit pin hole, lol. Hope you get it figured out.
