Nissan Repair: Pathfinder All Mode 4WD Transfer Case, dextron iii, automatic transmission fluid


Question
I have an Australian 1999 Nissan Pathfinder (VG33, R50).  I recently changed the Automatic Transmission Fluid in the Transmission Pan & in the Torque Converter; however I could not see a way to change the Dextron III in the All Mode 4WD Transfer Case.

Is changing the Dextron III in the All Mode 4WD Transfer Case a separate operation to the one I have already carried out?

If so, could you please tell me where I might find the Top Up Point & the best method of replenishing the fluid? I.e. do you need a pump or hose to assist in replenishment?

Many thanks Dizz


Answer
Dizz,

They have to be connected and you have changed it.  To check this out look and see that they are connected.  Where the tail housing goes there is a transfer case that is connected to the back of the transmission.  If there was a seperate driveshaft going from the transmission to the transfer case then it would be required.
