transfercase question
I have a ZF transmission
where it connects to the transfer case, is there fluid in there? do they share the same atf?
also, has anyone dropped the transmission and the transfercase at the same time? was it fun?

No theres no fluid in between the tranny/transfer case. At least when I pulled my tranny/transfer case there wasnt. If you tip the trans back far enough you will probably get some in there.
Drain the transfer case and then take it off. Then drain the tranny and pull it too. Don't pull them at the same time as that could probably be rough unless you have more than one helping hand.

There is NO fluid in between the two. Atleast there shouldn't be. On my T-18 there is the hole that oil runs through to keep the output bearing oiled. On the extension housing there is the gally it runs through and then back to the transmission.
Like stated before drain the transfer case. Drop it. Start with the bottom bolts, then to the top. It's not that heavy. I just held mine up there (BW1345) and let it drop slowly. Then remove the extension housing. And then drain the Transmission and drop it with a jack. That will be heavy.

Just finished putting a clutch in a 1993 F-250 with a 7.3L IDI diesel and a ZF-5. Flywheel was heavy, clutch was heavy, Tranny tried to kill the three of us, yup, all really heavy. More to the point, again, there is usually no fluid in the coupler housing.

Nevertheless, I think everybody here as added to my reply quite nicely. Thanks guys for clarifying things because I was a little uncertain about the fluid between the tranny/transfer case. I appreciate it!
