So I'm reassembling my transfer case and wasn't sure does the front diff require fluid in the front diff carrier? I tore the front diff out to remove a broken front output shaft and replace it. I can't seem to find a definitive answer anywhere.

 

pointless post from me: i dont know...but something i do know...is be sure to get Mitsu Diaqueen in the transfercase and rear diff...

 

Shares fluid with the transmission.

 

front diff is in the transfer
centre diff is in the transmission

 

the only fluids i know that are near the engine bay that are drivetrain related are Transmission and Transfercase...otherwise rear diff...

 

wow, so no one has done a front diff before? that sucks

 

lots of oils you can use.

I use Motul in mine, 80w140. Very thick stuff. Lots of guys down here in Aus use similar fluid and have no issues, however, it does get quite got down here.

Lots of street cars I know have had great experiences with stock Mitsi fluid.

 

Which Motul are you using? Is it the Competition ff?

 

right, they use the same fluid - never heard of anyone changing the "front diff fluid"

 

The front diff shares with the transfercase...

 

Yes, if you can change the front diff fluid only, you will be the first to do it.

Stick with OEM fluids.
