I was putting my Kraton back together after installing my new pinion and setting the mesh. I noticed the little coupler that attaches to the input shaft on the front differential/gearbox had come off from my last crash. I saw no other way to get it back on besides taking the whole front steering assembly off the chassis. Once off I was surprised to e able to look inside the gearbox. I assumed it was a seal box, as I have read about people changing diff fluids. So inside my gearbox was grease (dirty diff fluid), the gears were basically metal on metal, no fluid/grease on them. I then decided I need to order diff fluids for the front and rear. I have a shim kit already from shiming my the new center diff. My concerns with adding the new diff fluid is leaking. How does the fluid remain in the gearbox and not leak out? The gearbox did not appear to have any sort of gaskets where it touches the chassis.
Also, any recommendations on fluids? I have 100k in my center diff currently.
