Thought the slow ooze (no dripping) was coming from the filler or drain. Finally got a closer look - with my glasses on - and what I thought at first glance were casting "flash" turned out to be a series of cracks:
IMG_3333.jpgIMG_3334.jpgIMG_3335.jpgIMG_3336.jpgIMG_3337.jpg


Question is, this one is from a 1992 model, is marked C15367. Model 18AM, ASSY No 5579 508 SN 9 12 85 1 Ratio 261

What I'm pulling up everywhere is 272 cases, and not sure if this is a direct replacement (Hummerparts guy when I did a search for the C15367 showed the newer model, superceded.). Want to be sure I buy the right thing.

Thanks in advance.

Thats is a good ol 218 T/C....get rid of it.
Replace it with a 242 T/C.
242's are slip yoke type, so you'll have to replace 2 drive shafts.

You can just buy a used 218 and slap it in with little fuss and be driving again soon. Probably around two to three hundred dollars plus shipping.

Thanks everyone for the input/help.

One more question.

Searching the parts books for the NP242, PN 21908 NSN 2520-01-409-2512. Searching this website for details on which propeller shafts to use. HPG says PN 12447113, doesn't show up in parts books 24P-1 or 2.

Anyone know exactly which parts I'll need, NSNs, PNs?

Of course I COULD wait until I talk to easternsurplus tomorrow, but another approach would be which book is this in?

Thanks again.

On a 242 Tcase, Your rear drive shaft will be determined on which model you buy...there are 2.
easiest way to tell is 4 bolt tail cone "latest" or 3 bolt tail cone "early"
242 is a superior Tcase over the 218 and the direct replacement for the 218.

Thanks, RWH. Always enjoy reading your posts. I'll wait until I call in the AM.

I might have the drive shaft you need if you get a 242 T/C.
