transfer case fluids
how do I check the fluid levels on the transfer case? also what type of flush or main... is good for it. Where does the fluid go in? Its a 79' f150 351m all factory. Sorry for all the questions at once, and thank you for your anticipated answers. Andy

There are two square plugs on the back of it. Bottom one is the drain. Fill the top one till it runs out.

Flush with the same fluid you fill with, ATF. It's cheap and doesn't take much. Flush till clean fluid comes out. DO NOT overtighten plugs when putting them back in.

78fordman is right, no ATF in the NP205. Use gear oil.

...............The old Ford 1977 Service truck (green) Manual recommends 50 wt. engine oil. i.e. 4.5 PINTS...sk

I have a friend who has a 79 Ford just like mine. I run 85W90. He runs A.T.F.
Neither one of us has ever had a problem yet. Odd how they will run with either one and no problems.
