Gasket replacement tips
A shift cover gasket works as the seal between the cover and the transmission case, keeping gear oil inside where the shifter linkage passes through. On a CJ or Scrambler that sees mud, water and heat cycles, the rubber or cork seal slowly hardens and compresses. The first sign is often a damp film along the cover edge, and a small weep can grow into a steady drip if the gasket is left alone. Checking the seal at each oil service helps catch the problem early.
Replacing the gasket starts with clean mating surfaces. Remove the old material with a plastic scraper rather than a steel tool, which can gouge the aluminum housing and create a new leak path. Check the cover and case edges for warping, because a flat sealing face matters as much as the gasket itself. Tighten the cover bolts in a crisscross pattern and recheck them after the first drive, and refill to the correct level once the job is complete.
