Transmission Fluid Filter Transfer Case Fluid Change

[Joe_Black]

The TOD/transfer case is pretty simple, just drain-n-fill. You should be able to figure it out by looking at it.

As for replacing the transmission filter, I'll update my how-to when I actually get to do this on my own VX's or someone elses.

I'll post some TOD/transfer case diagrams this evening if no one else does.

I ordered the gaskets for the adapter pan and the for the filter so I'm set for those.. they'll be in next week. Maybe I'll take a few pictures as well and send them to you for your site. Thanks alot so far...

I've been tinkering with a DIY-flush tool that uses compressed air. If it turns out to work well my hope is that a few will build them and then it could be sent to those in need for the cost of shipping. I'd make the plans openly available for folk to build and maybe improve. Actual shop flush machines start around $1000, so far this one has run me about $30.

You have to drop the cross member to get the last few bolts on the trans pan. No big deal really, just support the trans at the rear output with a floor jack and drop the cross member. Refilling the trans is a pain. I use a drill pump with a few feet of rubber hose on it with flexible copper tubing on the ends. The copper tubng allows for a "hook" to fashioned and will stay put n the filler hole which is upside down .
