Got some issues

[absolutemoon]

Feel like there should be a non mechanic (dumb ass) section. I am trying to replace gaskets in my trans an trans case. I started to remove the skid plate and low and behold everything started to come with it. Trans, trans case and all. How the heck do you get to the trans pan and transfer case gaskets without removing the skid plate? It's a 258 with a tf999 and Dana 300. Thanks. Bryan

Use jack stands and use the to support the tail of the transmission. Then just unbolt the skid plate and the transmission mount bolts and it will come down

Will the transfer case need to be supported as well?

Transfer case is connected to the transmission so no need for that. But once you have the skip plate off I would out one to support the transfer case just for extra protection. But shouldnt have an issue while removing the skip plate

Thank you very much. I should have paid more attention in auto class.
