Just performing some prep work before I carry out the fluid changes...
I had to remove a plastic tray with a plastic pillow in it before i could see the AT pan. I found the drain port which looks like a 5 or 6mm allen key, and the fill port which looks like a massive nut with a small bump in the centre. Maybe I will need that big spanner after all. All of this area was bone dry no leaks or drips.
I also had to clean up heavily gunked up fill and drain ports on the diffs. I was wondering why there was so much gunk around these big grub screws. Maybe they are leaking?? but strangley nothing on the drive??
When I do the diff oil changes, i might use a bit of sealant or something- can anyone recommend something?
Worried about how i'm going to fill the front diff as the anti roll bar seems to be in the way.
One thing I did notice was a small drip from the transfer box? liquid was red.
I also noticed that it had some sort of instant gasket from where 2 surfaces are mated together. Just wondered if this was normal.
Fill plug on mine was an allen key jobie, sounds like yours is the version for the dip stick but it has been removed.
