GX470 141,172 mileage.
Getting ready to change my ATF. Been reading the faq and noticed it linked to the 100 series. The information was good on how to do the fluid exchange but I’m not sure our fill, drain, overflow plugs and hoses are in the same location and I couldn’t find a picture of the full plug, so I’m documenting what I find here, and have a question.
The fill plug takes a 24mm socket. It’s on the passenger side, on the upper case sort of near where the transfer case attaches. See picture.
EDIT: There is another 24mm plug near this one. It’s harder to get a wrench on it and is located on top of the transfer case, but it’s easy to confuse with the tranny fill plug. I don’t know why it’s there as it fills the TC but the TC fill plug is lower on it.
The correct tranny fill plug is located in front of the crossmember (towards the front of the car) , and above and slightly rear of the tranny pan. Easy to get a wrench on it.
The drain plug takes a 14mm socket. And the overflow or overfill, is a 5mm Allen head.
