Transmission in Park, Transfer case in neutral.
The way I removed my manual trans was to start at the rear end. Pull the rear drive shaft, pull the front drive shaft, un bolt the transfer case from the transmission, support the transmission with a jack, pull the trans cross-member, pull the exhaust y-pipe, un-bolt trans from motor and there you have it.
if you have 4x4 you can pull 1500 pounds but even if you do have 4x4 i suggest getting a transmission cooling system from uhaul if you have an automatic transmission because even though it says its okay to tow, if your tracker did NOT come with a tow package from the factory (which none of them did) then you need the transmission cooling system or you will fry your transmission and damage your transfer case.
In a nutshell: Unbolt 4 nuts/bolts from rear of driveshaft from rear differential. Pull driveshaft out of transfercase. Unbolt driveshaft's carrier bearing from chassis. Unbolt and pull transfer case off of transmission. I'm in the process of doing an AWD swap into my Spyder now ! :) IHTH Brian
The fluid level ( MERCON ATF ) should be at the bottom of the FILL hole when you pull the FILLER plug on your transfer case
are you talking about the transmission or the transfer case, if you are talking about the transmission if there is a dipstick pull the dipstick out and fill with correct fluid at the right amount. if your talking about the transfer case for 4wheel dr. those you usually have to go under the vehicle and visually locate a port to add extra fluids.
Stop the vehicle, put it in neutral, depress the clutch (if a manual transmission), pull the transfer case lever back one position from the 2HI position.
The engine and transmission are removed together out the bottom.The engine and transmission are removed together out the bottom.
Put transmission into neutral while running, pull transfer case lever back on notch (beside shifter,) this will engage 4 Hi.
the viscous is located inside the transfer case... you need to pull the transfer case out and split it open. While you are there you might as well throw a fresh chain and bearings into the transfer case as well.
Tha transfer case has a shift sheet, not the transmission. The transmission has a bushing and shift bolt. The bushing is usually rotted and the bolt mos likely sheared in half. When you pull out the shift level, be careful not to let the broken bolt tip fall into the tranny.
Use a nail or similar sharp, hard device to mark the location of your front and rear drive shafts where they bolt onto the transfer case. Unbolt the rear drive shaft from the transfer case and tie it up out of the way. Do not let the weight of the shaft to hang off the rear U-joints as this can cause damage to them. Unbolt the front drive shaft just like the rear and again tie it up out of the way and support it as to not damage the U-joints. Warning: At this point you are ready to detach the transfer case from the transmission. The transfer case weighs about 50-75lbs and can seriously injure or even kill you if doped. It can also damage the transfer case. So please be careful and get a buddy to help you out on this part. It will make things go a lot easier as well as safer with an extra pair of hands. Use a tranny jack or normal jack to support the transfer case, you may need to improvise with some scrap wood to get a good balance. If possible use a strap to hold the transfer case on the jack, if you do use a strap make sure you have a good seat and balance on the jack. Loosen the bolts attaching the transfer case to the transmission. Take care to only lossen the correct bolts, some of the bolts holding the two halves of the transfer case together look as if they are threaded into the transmission. As the transfer case becomes loose, make sure your balance and support from the jack remain solid and safe (this is where it helps to have extra hands) Use the support to keep the transfer case level with the transmission, this way the input shaft will not bind inside the transfer case. Once all the bolts are loose, remove them all but one or two in the top. Double check your balance and support, warn your buddy if you have one that the transfer case is detached and to be careful. Slowly pull the transfer case straight out keeping it level with the transmission. If the transfer case is stubborn, time your pulls and pushes with your buddy careful not to upset the balance and support from the jack. As the transfer case comes free, be sure not to let it hang off the transmission output shaft, ast his can tweak the shaft and cause excessive ware and vibration. ------------------------------------------------------- I wrote this off the top of my head, and is meerly a generalization of how to remove your transfer case but should prove useful for a quick over view. If you are going to attempt this repair on your own, I highly suggest you have a repair manual such as one from Haynes or Chilton. (chilton is best) As it has other important information that you will need when replacing the transfer case, such as torque specs, tolerence specs etc etc. Nero
