What is an “oil collector” on the T-90 transfer case?
The oil collector is a small plate in the bottom of the T90 (about $10 from 4wd Hardware catalog) I think it redirects the oil splash towards the front of the main shaft. It is secured with 2 Allen bolts and wraps around the side of the input shaft gear and cluster. Oil collector is and [ was] only intended to slow the gears down when the clutch is engaged. It acts as a hydraulic brake, catching oil at top, running down the side of tranny and shooting it onto gears in opposite direction of travel , like a funnel, from what the old say, didn’t work too well.
