This is after you have drained, cleaned and installed the drain bolt.

Get a cheap pump for $4.00 at local auto store then pump away.

 

If you don't have a level lift, remember to just add 2.75 to 3qt max since not all old fluid will come out or you can add till the fluid drips out of the fill hole if you have a level lift.

The transfer case is similar to tranny, but you will only be able to add about 1/2 qt before it drips out.

If you can change your own oil, you can change all the tranny fluid including the rear diff. It's that easy.

 

And one more thing, you should get a second pump for the transfer case as it does not use the same fluid as the tranny. I would replace the transfer fluid more often than the tranny as it only holds about 1/2 qt and it gets pretty thick and dirty quickly.

 

Great job simevo... Very useful, I'll definatly use this when I get arround to changing my oils. for now they are in a box still

 

You just jacked up the car and changed it like that? What about the rear trans case did you do it the same way?


Did you notice a difference when driving?

 

Where are you setting the jack to lift the car? Probably not a good idea to go under it without a jackstand but that's a personal decision. Oops, I just looked closer and saw the stand.

Did you cut out part of the undertray?

 

I did the exact same thing last weekend. The gear oil pump kicks *** for filling the fluids. Pumping almost 4 quarts into the gearbox was a little tedious but not bad.

 

You don't need to cut anything. It is very easy. You can reach all the bolts easily except for the fill bolt for the transfer case. You'll need an extension for that one but still very easy.

And please use a jack stand with the jack. I used two, one in the front and one in the back since when you lift the car, the whole side does come off the ground.

 

Here is the service manual.

 

And one for the transfer case. Once you have changed both fluids, you'll notice the car is smoother. But don't expect the tranny noise to disappear.

 

redline mt-90 and 75w90 are the same thing? Also the tranny, transfer case, and rear diff all take this oil??????? Anything else to replace besides the engine oil?

 

mt-90 is only a gl-4, so that means I have to use 75W90NS which is a gl-5 for the transfer case?

So tell me if I have this right:

Transfer case- a gl-5 like redline 75w90NS
Transaxle- a gl-4 like redline mt-90
Differential- a gl-4 like redline mt-90

Amount of Fluid
Trasnfer Case- .58 qt
Transaxle .2.9 qt
Diff.-.58 qt.


Is all this correct. I want to make sure im putting the right **** in.

Thnx

 

Tranny - GL4 75W90 (Redline MT90)
Transfer - GL5 75w90 (Redline 75W90) You can use 75W90NS but only for the transfer case since the front doesn't have limited slip.
Rear diff - GL5 75W90. Don't use GL4 that's for the tranny only.

thanks simevo.

 

Great post. Anyone who is doing their own Driveline fluid change should read it
