Dana18, single shift lever, driveshaft leaking

Greetings All,
In my restoration of my 71 CJ5 I have had a severe leak at the rear output shaft of my XferCase. In all the exploded views of the Dana18, I can not identify the seal that I believe seals the companion flange as it rotates with the drive shaft. There is more than the felt seal...correct??

thanx in advance for your input!

There is a seal in the speedo gear housing. I had the same problem, replaced the seal and the gasket between the housing and t-case, and used lots of black permatex on the shaft splines.

 

Bill,

Are you familiar with the Dana 18 rebuild guide?

It's very helpful because it describes all the pieces and helps make more sense out of the exploded diagrams.
