The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Torque tube seal-need a quick fix

Update, so I installed one of Vern Tardels dams, and it still putting about 2 cups of oil from the rear differential into the transmission about every 40 miles. So I'm wondering if I should put an oil slinger in there to prevent it oil from going along the inner driveshaft?
For now every time I get home I drain the transmission and add oil to the rear diff. But it's getting expensive. And I'm more worried about taking a trip and burning up the rear diff her lack of oil.
The drawback now with the Vern Tardel baffle is even if I park on a hill it will not drain back into the rear diff because the baffle stops it.
