I'm doing my diffs and transfer box today after having done the power steering at the weekend. Power steering fluid was black and it's made a huge diffrence to how it turns. The transfer box oil was a horrible brown colour just now and I'm glad I'm doing this as I plan on keeping the car a few years.. I'm plucking up the courage to do the gearbox lastly..

I would definately do the diffs and transfer box as its an easy job and can only help! Did mine recently with 77k on the clock and the rear diff was brown and smelt disgusting! Nearly made me sick!!

and the gearbox fill plug is in a stupid place (needs special tool) on your vehicle IIRC .

Just done my diffs and transfer box and it feels smoother. The old fluids were disgusting! |
