This is a pretty straightforward question. Can you refill the gear oil through the shifter hole once the stick is removed? Or does it have to be done through the filler hole on the size of the t-case and transmission? I was able to do this on my suzuki sidekick.

 

Yes you can.

 

that was a straight forward answer

You can also fill your T-case through the T-case shifter on top shift cases. Since yours is a forward shift case, you will have to fill your case through the back.

 

Hey boys,

So you can fill thru the hole your shifter screws into but how will you check the level? How do you know you're putting the right amount in there?

Goin' thru the fill hole in Virginia. :-)

 

exactly what I was thinking

 

find out what tranny you got and see how much oil it takes

 

OR!!!!!!!!! Take the fill plug out of the tranny. When it's full, it will pour out. Just keep a clean, clean, clean container under the tranny to catch the spill so no waste, eh.

 

yeah, just take the plug out and when it's full it will spill out. beats buying a little pump or a funnel to fill the case with oil through the side like that.

That's pretty much all i was looking for. thanks.

 

OH SNAP!!!!

Hehehe......it's the simple things that sometimes elude us in life.

Then again, it does help to know the fluid capacity.

 

what would be the negative affects of overfilling the thing?

 

Forcible leakage from all the seals, I'd imagine.

 

I had to buy a $10 hand pump to fill mine through the fill plug, nice to have!

 

strange... I would think it would just be easier to put a wrench on the fill plug and fill it up there...



unless the plug's rounded off...

or broken off in the tans...

but who does that

 

Forgot about those damn forward shift cases.
