Hi guys , when i pulled the box out of Elmo i had a look inside the transfercase where the shaft from the box goes in and it was all gray and pasty in the spline . what would be going on inside the box and is this a normal thing ?

Thanks JC , thought it may have been a spline flogging out but from what i seen it looked pretty good .

Sorry, should've mentioned that if your mainshaft spline is wet with oil and looks like new still, then the drilled gear is already installed in the transfer case.

JC, couldn't the 'grey stuff' be caused by moisture emulsifying the oil ?
Or plain and simple - water in the TC

Possibly is moisture, or even years and many KM of metal fines. The place where this stuff collects is like a grease trap in a drain. The oil washes past it and dumps heavy particles like tiny metal fragnments and normal oil borne 'sludge' from infrequent changes there. It is sometimes resembling grey plasticene or play- doh(sp) and is very difficult to clean out.
Old oil can be grey too Ladas, like you said moisture in the oil can also be from infrequent oil changing.
