Fluid type and amount.

[CEThomas]

Went off and forgot to lookup the type and amount ot fluid need for the 231 t-case and AW-4.

 

Thanks,

Both the AW4 and the 231 should take Dexron/Mercon ATF

 

AW4 = Appox 4 quarts, run to hot, thru all gears and re-check, Don't over fill.

 

231 = Appox 2 quarts, filled to top of filler hole.

 

I doubled checked both of the spects for your "mid" '90's equipment ;)

That might be a bit of a challenge. :D An easier method is to fill to the bottom of the filler hole. :cheers:

[CEThomas]

It was not to bad, just put the MJ on end and filled till it was to the top of the neck. Problem was getting the MJ back down on the ground :rotfl2:

What, not up to the challenge? If your quick with the plug you can fill to top & maybe catch it :eek: half-way to the bottom edge of the hole. Serves no useful purpose, but, its fun to try if you don't mind oil possibly down to your elbow.

I fill mine above the top fill hole.

 

 

But I fill it on the bench out of the truck.

 

 

 

And you can use whatever ATF you want in a 231. They don't care. Although, I do personally like the Dex/merc stuff.

So......I typed that up side down :D

 

I ment "Fill to top filler hole"

 

So if some one want to stand the MJ on it noise, more power to them :bowdown:

Actually, it's a common trick for guys who own SWB jeeps with horrid steep rear pinion angles to park facing down a steep hill to fill the rear diff.

What's a d35 call for?

I was told 3.5 quarts, but only have been able to get around 2.5 in. It's kind of needed info, for my daily driver ZJ...

Yea, I had to double checked this - And the D35 calls for 3.5 PINTS (Not Quarts) of SAE 80W/90.

 

So, if your only getting 2.5 qts in, then your over filled, cause 3.5 pts equals a little less than 2 qts.

 

This is based on <'94. >'94 calls for 3.7 pts.
