Puma Transfer Case questions

Hi, i have a leaking transfer case and have 2 specific questions:

1) How does one check the oil level on the Puma transfer case?

2) Would the transfer case have been removed during a clutch slave cylinder replacement?

Thanks! www.ralton.co.za

The TC oil capacity is 2.3 l which is roughly at the filling hole level. And it should not have been removed from the gearbox, unless they could not handle the weight of the whole thing.

You can probably have a look to the bolt set of the main casing attached to the rear part of the gearbox and see if they show some wear. Traditional leaks are from the front and rear output shafts seals. Puma 110" SW

Thanks MK
I'll take a closer look on the weekend and see exactly where it's coming from.
If it is the output shaft seals, how easy (expensive) is it to repair? (i'm just out of warranty).

It is a kind of DIY job. Basically you need to remove either propshaft (brake drum if rear) and the big nut attaching the flange to the output shaft. I would say half day job for a mechanic to change both. Seals are quite cheap and I suggest you use genuine ones.

Have a look to the workshop manual or surf for the "LT230Q transfer box overhaul manual". If you do not find it I could email it if you want.
