    If the rear is due I bet you the front, and transfer case are also due. Might as well knock it all out and be on the same schedule.

    This has all crush washers to service all 3 things. The front diff takes 1.6 quarts and the t case 1.2. So 6 quarts total oil, crush washers, and a pump. For the front diff you need a 10mm allen key.

    *gasp* It's literally as easy as the diffs, just a drain and fill. I'm disappointed Matt.

    It's not an effort thing. I'm one of those that think it's a perfectly balanced little environment in there. :anonymous:

    Transfer case is super easy and same 24mm bolts. The front diff drain plug is notorious for stripping out since it's a 10mm hex. Word of advice for the front is to clean the hex holes out very good, use a quality hex socket and make sure it goes in all the way, and definitely loosen the fill plug first.

    Just that the NS shifts even smoother than the regular MT90 stuff. If you search TW for "redline ns" some stuff comes up.
