    was under the vx today and messed with the breather tube, theres a white cap on top of the piece the breather connects to.. im assuming thats normal to keep thing out? as soon as i pulled the flexible part of the hose from the piece connected to the frame there was a pressure hiss.. couldnt figure out how to get that white cap off, it felt like it was threaded but i guess not.. wonder if that cap was just stuck down or something... ill check it again tomorrow i guess

    the transfer case is super easy.. there are two plugs with square holes.. a 3/8" socket wrench extension fits perfectly in them.. undo the top one first then drain from the lower one... fill with atf until it dribbles out the top one

    FYI
    I know there are a few post that says the trani requires 10 Qts. mine only took 5 and that was with a complete drain (cooler as well) and new filter, I have yet to recheck it but I doubt it will need 5 more qts!

    i was talking about the transfer case which takes like 2.5 quarts... the transmission is much more involved. if you dont think you put in enough double check your procedure. car should be running while you check and you need to cycle the gears first ..

    Even though you drain the trans huge amount of the old fluid remains in there, it's difficult do drain all the old fluid a 100%
    Dakar was just the begining.
