Transmission, Differential & TCase fluids on 97 Cherokee Sport
1997 Cherokee Sport, manual, 4wd (in this order 2H-4H-N-4L) w/ 179k. Not sure what diffs or transfer case I have so its hard for me to figure it out.
I wanted to change all the drivetrain fluids, tranny, diff, transfer case etc. Can someone make my life easier and just tell me what fluids are best for each?
thanks!

I don't think i have an LSD, it acts like an open on slippery surfaces. I also don't have an owners manual 
So
80w90 for the rear diff
and Dexron III for the front TC
What about transmission fluid? How much fluid do I need for each.... do I have a front diff also?

Yes, you have a front dif since its 4wd..
80w90 for front and rear diff.
Dexron III for the Transfer Case and the Transmission.
Looks like about 2 quarts for both diffs, just to be on the safe side so you dont run out on your change. Stop filling about 1/2" from the plug.
