How much ATF in the transfer case?!?

The manual, if I read it right, says 2.0 quarts. I remember reading several times online 2.1 quarts is when it should start coming out the fill hole, so I only bought three... I just put in 3 quarts and it was all still going in when I finished.

Do I need more, to reach the fill hole? Am I fine? Too much?!

I was having a bit of grinding once in a while going into 3rd and 5th gears...Checked and replaced bushings accordingly...helped some but not completely.

Thats when I heard about MTL and how it helped smooth out a lot of guys ZF-5's. So being a little skeptical I tried it and boy it sure felt nice. Shifts really smooth any grinds are gone.

Right on glad you are having a good experience with it like I am. I have never heard of anyone putting MTL in their transfer case, just synthetic ATF. I did 4 qts. through my shifter too....but in my case I didn't have a choice..i broke 2 hardened sockets on my tranny fill plug before I gave up /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
