Morning all I fitted a set of diff breaters to the cruiser yesterday and after i finished admireing my handy work with a cold beer i started to think about the auto and the transfer case, after looking in my manual i couldn't seem to find there location, are they required in an auto 100 series, the auto dosn't even have a dip stick to
check tranny fluid so it got me thinking that it might be a sealed unit, has any one else come across this?

Inkbandit79,
Post 2003 100 series, 5 speed auto are sealed transfer and auto boxes, (no dipsticks). No breathers, that said the fluids are coloured, (I think) yellow and blue, should there be a seal leak one of the boxes will show a green tinge in the oil.
Fluid level is checked via the fill hole (plug).
Should water get in either box the oil will discolour and when you open the fill plug (when cold) fluid flow out.
Hope this helps

thanks tony seems yours is a year later than
mine does your auto and transfer have a dipstick or another way of checking the fluids? by the way how is your diff bracket going i have just had OME shocks and torsion bars fitted and am looking to change the shocks as OME dont allow for enough travel and weight at the same time as other brands was thinking about tough dogs!

Looking at my auto the other day it has a plug with
CHECK stamped on it. Probably tells you in a manual but mines out in the car.
Some Capitals, fullstops and sentences make posts easier to read.
