Yours arent bad at all. Here are some pics of where I am at. Note my case is bad but will finish up nice. the thing is, the upper drive case is the worst on mine with the lower case not bad at all. You can be purchase the drive case for a paltry sum of $1,950. For me, thats a lot of JB filling and sanding and worth the effort even if I have to do 4 applications of JB to get it right . If you look at how to pull apart the upper drive shafts and components, it doesnt look that bad. Since my internals look good and I can smooth the case like I am doing, I think I have a winner from a cost perspective. I may or may not separate the lower gear case to inspect and deal with it. But since I dont have to fill the outer case and only sand, prime, and paint, I will likely NOT open that and leave as is. BTW -there was no water in the oil when I drained it.our post gives me hope, as my drives look equally bad
