Toby Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 How would I go about putting said fluid in? I searched and came up dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastpath Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 there is a drain hole just near the front drive-shaft, and a fill hole at the back somewhere. make sure you can get the fill hole stopper out before you drain the fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm replacing my vehicle speed sensor. So i'll probably end up losing all my fluid. I'll look for it when i get a day off I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Don't forget to jack the side with the filler up so you can "overfill" it to the correct fill level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just the tranny fluid that needed overfill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 What fluid do I use? I've been through this before I believe. Power steering fluid is what the manual says about. Dexron II. Would Dexron III be fine? (I'd assume so but i'd rather ask and be safe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it said ATF...shows what I know. lol Lots of people run redline MT-90 (especially if they have a MT: in case of a seal failure it wont do anything to your tranny). Its what I'm switching to. I had the ATF in there formerly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of MT-90. and I have a manual trans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastpath Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 MT-90 is MT GL4 fluid that is made by the company Redline. It is supposed to be the "dogs bollocks" and most people on here will recommend it for your MT. Its a bit hard to find though, you can order it at summit and JEGS, and some 4x4shops have it in stock.

I guess I may have to go on a limb to see if a local performance shop has it. I need my Nissan on the road by the end of this month lol. Don't have time to wait for ordered parts. Any other suggestions in case I can't find that? I'm almost there. All I got left of real work is this damn sensor. The A/C belt but I can live without A/C for now. Gotta bleed my brakes but that doesn't take long at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I shouldnt have said the Redline is "hard to find" but rather that your general auto shops don't have it. JEGS got my order to me in 4 days. Any GL4 would work the same, or you could use ATF, order the Redline and re-drain/fill again later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my usual place is busy. That and if anything else is wrong with it I'd like some time to fix it. I'm just pressed for time. I suppose if I can't find the GL-4 I could use ATF for now. I also gotta get my exhaust welded. I got a crack right before it goes into the collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 You wrote inside the quote. But I have purchased the sensor. Aftermarket for $85 and change. Just waiting to get gear fluid and the time to put it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takumi Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Dextron II is the proper fluid but that was outdated and replaced with dextron III and is fine to put in there. there are a few different transfer cases that nissan produced throughout the wd21's life that all have different drain/fill plug locations. if you have a haynes manual, it shows all of them in there. Since you have a 1994, most likely you fill plug is rear facing on the transfer case right in front of the rear most cross member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Time is my biggest problem. I'm just taking it to the Nissan dealer. $70 in labor. Already got the sensor so all I'd need to buy is the fluid. Get an oil change while I'm at it. And that should be all of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyP503 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) I used DexIII, bought one of the $5 hand pumps from Autozone that fits the gallon jugs and made it a piece of cake to fill all the transfer case, tranny, and diffs (Just to specify, I didn't use the DexIII in all of them ) Edited November 12, 2009 by NavyP503 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Truck is at my step brother's shop now. The gear on the speed sensor was stripped. Meaning the drive gear is probably chipped. So to save myself a headache and having to rip apart the T-Case I'm replacing it with a used one out of a 94 HB with 120k from the C4C program. Hopefully they get the T-Case pulled soon so i can have my pathfinder back. you never realize how uncomfortable pathfinders are until you're back in a standard cab shortbed.
