kawaboy13 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Where is the drain and fill plug on an NP231? I've looked and there's grease everywhere so I can't find it? Pics please! And also on the peougout transmission? Also is it common for this transmission to leak? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimoshel Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Clean it. It will make finding the plugs easier as well as finding where the the leaks are. :wrench: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseMJ Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I've looked and there's grease everywhere so I can't find it? Yeah, beat me to it. Step One: Clean the transfer case, tranny, engine. Step Two: The T/C drain and fill plugs are on the backside of the the T/C. Mine are brass(?) 30mm, bottom is drain, top is fill. Remove fill first, then remove drain, drain, replace drain, fill with Dex III or suitable ATF. Replace fill plug. On the tranny the drain plug is at the rear of the tranny, just above the cross member. It's a 5/16" (or metric eqivalent) square plug drive. If you can't find the tool, you need to make one with a sacrificial 3/8" drive extension...grind it down on all four side to fit. The fill plug is about mid way on the passenger side...easier to see when it's clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
