TOY: Transmission oil mystery..... What section to unbolt?

Transmission oil mystery..... What section to unbolt?

All those who've had this seal go bad.  What section do I unbolt in the 
trans to get to the seal?  There is the transmission up front, then 
there's the transfer adaptor where the main stick is on top of,  then 
there is the transfer it's self.  So where do I unbolt this thing to get 
to the seal?

Looking at my 1981 toy manual  page 9-14 it shows a seal on the back of 
the transfer adaptor. On Page 9-36 it shows this seal being replaced. 
 Is this the one?

I stopped at the local toyota dealer last night and it was very 
difficult to see on the computers.  VErry confusing pictures. Plus, the 
guy behind the counter kept clicking on different screens.  I was about 
to slapp his hand off the mouse....GrRRRrr!!!

That's the one Steve, the one in the transfer adapter. On a
conventional, 2WD transmission, the transfer adapter would be called the
"extension housing" and this is where the rear-most transmission seal
resides. Unbolt the transfer case from the adapter by removing the six
(?) bolts from the back side of the xfer case. It wouldn't hurt to
replace the gasket between the xfer and adapter either, but if the
dealer doesn't stock it, and time is of the essence, you can use RTV in
a pinch.
