Front & Real Differential Fluids

[pbkid]

so we never got a write up on this huh bart??

a lot of info on changing the diff's...but none for the transfer case...

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%

I was hoping to get it all, I disconnected the cooler and with everythin unhooked and open I started it up and ran it through the gears hoping to pull out as much as I could, at any cost its shifting a whole lot smoother, not sure if I should attribute that to the fluid/filter or the missing bolts in the trani mount, my guess is they both helped

Good,With a sucking pump you may be able to get almost all the old oil outter the trans
