I pulled the D20 fill plug....at this moment most smart people would’ve put a pan down.....anyway, GUSHHH! Half a gallon of tranny fluid came gushing out all over me, my face and floor! Excellent times! lol! I overnighted the seals from WH and off to the tranny Shop tomorrow, $300- I thought that was a DEAL!
Put your color choices on a dart board and go for it. Just as good a method as any. I knew the color I wanted but not the actual color shade of that color I wanted. Little color chips don't help and when looking up the color on sprayed cars there's about 10 shades of that color. It became a looser of allot of sleep.
Factory spec transfer case 50 weight motor oil. ( Valvoline racing 50 weight) allot of people used 90 weight gear oil. I use synthetic amsoil 90 weight gear oil which is the same viscosity as 50 weight motor oil when measured on the same scale. It doesnt thicken up when cold like regular gear oil will. ATF would be a no go for me.
I wouldn't flush unless you see some ugly fluid in there.
Almost there! Hopefully a week or so and I’ll start the reassembly. Love the color, very different from the yellow...can’t say my kids agree..
What do you all think about Linex on the cage? It’s powdercoated now and I suppose it can be re powdercoated but just wanted to see who has done it and do you like it.
Thanks!

That color looks really classy. Tell the kids to hold on until it’s back together and out in the sunlight - bet they’ll come around. As slick as the paint is, powder coat may look better than the texture of the Linex. Guess you could test spray a piece of pipe or pvc and compare to see which you like best?
