Just a little write up I figured I'd throw out there. These are the tools you need so you dont go to advanced twice. Use the 10mm bolt with the 17mm head or a 17mm allen wrench for the fill plug on the tranny.



use the funnel for the transfer case 1st b/c you will need to cut the hose shorter for the tranny.



T/ case oil from summit



T case drain plug. use 10mm allen. Make sure you can get the fill plug off 1st.



T Case fill plug



tranny mtl from summit



tranny fill plug



tranny drain bolt



tranny drain plug all on drivers side. We took a screw driver and hammer to get the cover off Oh so Gently and a 14mm wrench for the pto bolts. 17mm for the tranny fill plug. Put ultru black silicone back on the pto cover. Use teflon on the drain and fill plugs.

I think thats it. Maybe it'll save you a trip to advanced

 

I've got a buddy that's going to be doing this soon. Thanks for the write-up!

 

how often should you change it?

 

mine was 40k but it had sludge. needs it at 30k in my opinion

 

Man do I need to change mine then.... 69000k miles on the original stuff. Still shifts good though...

 

what are the capacities for everything...my buddy at work needs to do his and i know nothing about the manual tranny capacities

I put 2 in the t case and could fit almost 4 in the tranny due to the fact that the truck was leanin back and not quite all could drain out which was a good angle for the t case.

 

I can get almost 5 in my NV5600, but I'm sure half of that last quart ends up on the ground. Those darn Redline bottles don't flex a bit, and I find myself transferring each quart to a gear oil bottle, then pouring it in that way. Double pouring sucks.

Good writeup.

No need to remove all the PTO bolts, just the lower center..

 

You can always just take off your shifter assembly and fill it from the top....

 

I fill mine through the top PTO cover bolt hole. Running 6 quarts of Amsoil MTF.

Nice wright up Chet.

What is the down side to runnin too much fluid? Will it blow seals out?

 

Shouldn't be a problem since the transmission is vented.
I have almost 20k miles since the change with no issues.

U need to takr the cover off and get the sludge off the magnet

 

WHAT???????? That's not true.!!!
