Recently got this jeep, had a bad ATF leak and chain slap in the transfercase. Got new chain, lots of new bearings and seals, however, the kit did not come with the correct seal for this type of output shaft. I have searched a lot and have come up with nothing. Currently the only thing stopping my jeep from getting off jack stands.

The original seal measures with

64mm outer diameter

41 inner diameter

Please help me find this output seal, this seems like a very unconventional setup from the previous owner.

I ran down to my local bearing shop and they sold me some seals.

My understanding is it might be a rear YJ seal.

I'm sure Advanced Adapters, Novak or JB Conversions can find you the right parts.

AA has parts list.

Check the measurements against SEAL-NATIONAL 473204. That's what they use for the non 1310 CV version.

Unfortunately I still have yet to find one. I tried this one, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BZ53PG?tag=wranglerorg-20 but it was a few millimeters too small, and it had the huge rubber thing.

With the old seal, I have gone to AutoZone, Oreilys, Napa, and Advanced Auto parts. None. I genuinely think this thing is 1 of 1.....

I've also hardly seen any other transfercases with a rear driveshaft output like this one. All SYE kits seem to use the same type, but of course not this thing. If anyone can think of any other applications of this seal and where I could get one, please let me know. There are really no junkyard TJs either, so no comparing.
 
This is what my local bearing shop gave me. Haven't installed it yet because I might just replace the transfer case...but if I did that I'd be moving over the SYE...
