Urgent need help again *fixed*

Hey guys. Still traveling across the country. Its leaking between the transfer case and trans. The last owenrs stripped amd chiseled the transfer case fill bolt and it looks jb welded. I toredto pound a socket on and even tried chiseling with flat head and small sledge and its not moving.

Is there another to fill the transfer case? Through a sensor or something?thanks

 

Which transmission, what style of transfer case? pushbutton, manual?

It could also be the back of the transmission leaking - what kind of fluid is leaking out?

 

1999 Manual trans, j transfer case.

No torch. 1500 miles from home.

 

whereabouts are you currently?

 

Boarder of colorado and wyoming

 

closer to Utah or Nebraska?

 

Could i fill it up here on top on the transfer case. Upper drivers side. The fill bolt at the back??

 

Nevermind cant fit socket

 

Can i fill it if i pull this sensor?

 

Can the trans and transfer case both take 75-90w?

 

oof, i am right along that red marker thing there by Iowa

i will post this link in the CO bs thread to see if somebody is awake if you need a hand?

 

it MAY be possible to fill at the j-shifter area through the floorpan, but don't quote me on that, i recall somebody filling their transmission through there once awhile ago

 

@Wulf

Aren't you manual+j shift?

 

Yes, they both take 75w90 but trans takes GL4 and transfer case GL5.

 

Oof

 

Pretty sure you can fill it through the shifter, but you won't be able to tell how much fluid is in there and you can easily overfill the transfer case.

 

i dont know the whole situation here!, is it bone dry?
just stepped into taco office

 

With the manual shift case you should be able to remove the shifter and fill it from the top.

I have done this for the manual transmission and older Toyota gear driven cases.I have not tried it with the chain driven Tacoma case but I expect it should work the same.
