noob t-case Q, FZJ80

Cbaer · 06-26-08, 05:59 PM

Drained the t-case (didn't need to, doh!) to replace trans rear seal, now need to know what to put back in t-case. Looked like synthetic gear lube or ATF came out of it, but got a case of the dumbs and dumped into bulk waste already.

gear lube

Thanks. Didn't know if the t-case used a planetary for low range or not.

I've noticed that we get questions along this line ever so often. The transfer case isn't in the FAQ list of fluids. Maybe Romer or one of the mods could add it?

....just a suggestion.

Good point.... I did look.
BTW, I got a couple of quick answers, made it home in time for a nice evening. Thanks.
