it’s on the front of the transfer case… i’m still kicking around the idea of cutting that off… I don’t really care about the mass, but the space it occupies will make exhaust routing a bit trickier…
I doubt it is for the attessa actuator, because there is a pump for that on the pumpkin…
The only thing i can think of is to keep the oil level in the lower portion of the transfer case from getting too high…
if you have a factory manual (which it appears you do) does it not show a fluid graph for the transmission? You know, as it would with an auto so you know exactly what the fluid is doing while it’s inside of said transfer case?
i’ve seen that, but they were also a bunch of hacks… the way the transmission is put together is not conducive to welding a plate on. I am going to machine the diff off and then bolt on a plate. If i weld it, i can never change any of the bearings on the inside… especially the output flange bearing
oh i agree 100% with that considering you have the means to do it very cleanly. but judging from the way they did it , it would lead one to believe that that pump/chain will not be necessary or a worry whatsoever.
