The GMC Sonoma Transfer Case Seal is a tight barrier to prevent lubricant from leaking out of the four wheel drive transfer case. This leakage could starve the gears and shafts of vital fluid. When intact, the Transfer Case Seal maintains the factory specified level of oil, allowing gears to turn smoothly, stay cool, and avoid damaging heat or metal to metal contact. Major versions are based on a lip style rubber ring hugging the output shaft with a coat of grease to ensure easy installation and immediate sealing, along with an internal spring to maintain the pressure against the shaft surface during vehicle motion. Over years of GMC production, this basic design has been consistent in that it is a compromise of flexibility and durability. However, wear grooves on the shaft or a loose extension housing bushing can compromise any Transfer Case Seal by allowing for misalignment and seepage. Symptoms of failure include puddles under the case and fluid levels dropping below safe limits. Owners of Sonoma trucks may notice an odor of lubricant after parking, which leads to the inspection of the area around the Transfer Case Seal. Replacement requires removing the driveshaft, gently prying away the old seal, cleaning the bore, and tapping the new Transfer Case Seal until its flat face becomes flush with it. After the driveshaft is reindexed to the marks made at disassembly, owners get the leak free performance their GMC Sonoma drivetrain depends on.
