Hello all,
Was going through my sister-in-law's 92 FJ80 last night and I wanted to check the level of oil in the transfercase. I pulled the fill plug and gear oil came rushing out of the fill.
My questions are this:
Is there something that has failed (seal/gasket/etc) that somehow maybe ATF is getting into tcase? Didn't look red at all...
Or, was there a way for someone prior to me putting my hands on it being able to overfill it?
I've been searching this forum for "transfercase overfull", "transfercase oil fill" etc but I'm not finding any other threads on this happening to anyone else other than FJ40 guys that have the transfercase pumping gear oil into transmission then using the equalization tube to get the gear oil back to the tcase.
Can anyone help steer me in the right direction? I drained the tcase and refilled from the fill whole. Anything i need to pay special attention to?
Thanks for any help!
Chris
