[mickblock]

aaaaaand that is theeeee PROPer procedure forrrrr filling your transfer case.

[laurajdahl]

What i meant to say is:

The DEALER said to use ATF+4

The Repair Manual said to use Dextron II

Who is right?

I have a 97 jeep wrangler 4.0L Sport with a 231 J transfer case... THANKS BUNCHES...

[jayguy173]

you can use either these transfer cases where in dodges and chevys but atf+4 is a better more shear stable oil and is fully synthetic

@laurajdahl

It doesnt really matter what you use. For older Jeeps like the ZJ grand cherokee's or Cherokee's they were built to run on dextron 2. You can use Dextron 3 in it, or ATF+4.

Hi,

I have a 97 Jeep Wrangler TJ Sport with 4.0 I6 AND the manual says to use mercon or dextron II BUT it says to use ATF+4 for the Transmission.. Is this right???

Thanks for your help.

[jayguy173]

the manual transmission takes the dealer fluid only its a special motor oil with syncromesh additives expensive stuff the transfer case would be best to use atf+4 and thats also how I did our dakota

Just to play is safe I always undo the fill plug first before I drain.... just extra insurance incase the fill plug has a problem coming out. You don't want to drain the transfer case and then not be able to add fluid.

why couldnt i have found this video before my transfer case exploded.

[therockkkkher]

expert village forgot to put in title this is no. 2 of transfer case 1-2

[therockkkkher]

fill it till its level with the hole and it starts to spill out. this is just one kind, is that the fill level for all transfer cases?

[xJEEPXJ]

is this only for a 4x4 transfer case? because i only have a 4x2 transfer case

what really helps in tight spaces such as this is a pump like thing you can screw onto the bottle. It looks like one of those pumps on the top of a bottle of flavor at a coffee shop... but it has a thick hose sticking out of the end to put into the fill plug. Much less messy!
