dumb ? the fill plug to the xfer case is that the one on the top thats looks really hard to get to, ?? i have done tranny and both diff, ( oh ya if you have read my other ? about the read plastic cap in the front diff---- yep it came out in very very little parts - no worry on my part it got shredded) any way how do you get gear oil in there????

 

Easiest way to fill IMO is pull the shifter OR COVER PLATE and fill it until it dribbles out the fill plug.

 

Look on the back of the case where the drive shaft comes out. at about 3 oclock you see a 24mm bolt head. remove and fill to it either just starts to run out, or you can stick your little finger in and it gets on the end of your finger.

 

ok thanks ill look at both options, of course you all know - gear oil dont fow to quick-lol god it can take some time to fill

 

go to autozone and get a cheap pump for the gallon size jug of oil. puts out about an oz on each pump.

 

This fills the transmission, but not the transfer, right?

 

i have thought about the gallon pump but i have quarts, so it don't fit any other way??

 

What other pumps can you use for filling the transmissiont-case? Can you use a gasoline siphon hand pump?

 

I always use a hand pump that screws on the top of the gear oil bottle. You can find them at pretty much any marine store. Mine has been around for several years with no signs of leaking/breaking. Works great every time.

 

And if he has a forward shifting case?


Best way to be sure is to remove the fill plug (about 1/2 was up the Tcase, should be a 24mm socket) and fill until fluid comes out.

 

All gear driven tcases have a top cover plate or shifters whether or not the tranny accepts top or forward shift tcases.

 

So then you should have put "remove the shifter OR the cover plate"

 

i filled the tranny through the shifter, with the 1 quart bottles with he nozzle on the end, doesnt take long if you have man muscles and can squeez the bottle same with xfer i just did it through the fill bolt tho....but i also have 7" of lift so i just sat under there and did it..
