ok since i dont trust dealerships i am going to change my t-case+rear diff fluids myself. with diaqueen sae90. how many liters go in the t-case and rear diff?
Former Sponsor
only 1 quart , or just fill up till it spills a little bit , u can really overfill it , because it will spill the excess..
fill
drive the car a couple of miles
lift again and refill just to make sure its completely full

The t-case takes just over half a quart and I think the rear end is similar. The tranny in a 5 speed taskes just over 2.5 quarts, although that is not diaqueen in there.
i already got my trans fluids done from my clutch job weeks ago. so the 4 liter jug of diaqueen is good for 4 changes twice t case twice rear diff?

Well your t-case fluid should have been done at the same time they did your clutch. If they did not do this then it is hard to be assuredd that non of the t-case fluid seeped out.

Understood. In a pinch you can use Royal Purple in the t-case. They have some good fluid too.

+1 we do that at the shop as well especially since some of the fluids we use in gear boxes are quite expensive and viscous Originally Posted by MitsuJoe

1 very helpful tip i got from John Shepard in regards to filling the TC is to use the drain instead of the fill to actually fill the TC and then drain out the excess from the fill bolt.
I know it's messy but guaranteed to get proper amount in there.
We do a lot of fluid changes at the shop and it's a DAMN PITA to sit there and pump thick Redline fluids into the fill hole......wait......fill......wait.....fill....... wait......fill.....etc.
Just pump in 1 full qt .....spin the wheels a bit......and drain out the excess
