Hey just a quick question. How many quarts of fluid would I need to fill the tcase back up? I wanna make sure I got enough before I change it tomorrow

 

Make sure you get the fill plug out before pulling the drain plug.........

 

^YES

And it'll take about 1.2 liters

 

Liters? I thought you were in California not overseas. LOL. Thanks for the spec by the way.

 

How much is that in quartz?

 

it's about the same.

 

Alright so 2 bottles should do?

 

You'll need 3 pints of ATF fluid.

Recommend replacing the internal hex plugs with the external wrench plugs (19 MM wrench) as shown in the pic below. You can get these plugs from a NAPA store. Torque is 15-25 Ft/Lbs.

 

Haha well apparently my factory service manual was made overseas cause that's what it says.

But yeah, 1 liter = 1.0566 quarts. So pretty much the same thing. Get 2 bottles and you'll be good.

 

2 quarts. Just changed mine last week

 

Haha, awesome sauce.

I am getting my rebuilt trans back today, and I wanted to change the tcase fluid while the tcase is apart from the trans.

Glad I found this thread!!

 

just did mine a week or two ago also.
but i buy mine in a bulk 10 gallon pail and use a mechanics syringe to suck it out of the pail and squirt it in the case, so couldn't tell you exactly how much to use, but i'd go with the consensus and say buy yourself 2 liters.
just fill it up till it comes out of the fill hole, put in plug and wipe the case clean.

 

What fluid does everyone use?

Synthetic? Non synthetic?

Brand suggestion?

 

I just bought some dexron 4 atf, you can use basically anything in those transfer cases.

 

A syringe is a good idea.... bet it works better then jacking up the back end then dumping it in....
