I was trying to locate a leak of ATF on my transfer case and found that it seems to be dripping down from a sensor on the 241 transfer case. A gentle wiggle of the sensor showed some fresh red ATF around the edges, so I believe the O-ring has failed and needs to be replaced.
After searching for a while online, it seems like it is the transfer case speed sensor which has been discontinued. I can’t find it anywhere new, but externally it resembles part# 5149034AA which is a camshaft position sensor.
I’m currently in the process of trying to remove the torx bolt without heating it, and it is so seized that I may end up breaking the sensor if this goes wrong as I escalate my use of force.
While I hope to get it out in one piece to reolace the o-ring and switch the torx bolt for a hex head bolt, I’d really appreciate any information on this part if people have a part number or identifying info on it. It’s a 2004 rubicon with stock 241 transfer case. The images below are taken from the rear of the t-case on the driver side.
