Much easier in a 101 - just lift the cargo area floor and fill everything from above - just pour in ;)

Gday, Just drained gearbox and transfer case.
Problem is the Tcase drain hole is cross threaded/flogged out.
Can I replace this plate or re thread it?
Thanks.
Paul.

Maybe Bearman ( Brian) has one available??
BTW, Its not a good idea to post a problem in to a thread like this, you would have had a far better/quicker response doing a new post.
FYI, 83 Rangie LT95.
Best results with the 20-60 Penrite HPR-30
Mineral oil, NOT friction modified and as you cant get Molybond additive anymore it seems the high Zinc content of the HPR 30 makes a big difference too.
The results?
First drain and fill of both Tfer and Gearbox.
Lazy syncromesh issues gone
Up shift smooth
Downshift way better with or without a blip shift #CozHabit
Running noise almost gone.
Oh and the reason why the plugs are often worn or flogged out is because if you go wading through water at the end of the day its wise to check for water in non water places coz Yoplait isnt just french for Yoghurt, Its also Swearineese for Blow head gasket and Gearbox lay and mainshaft bearing rebuild. :-)
I have been using Castrol RX Super Diesel for engine, gearbox/transfer case since picking up my Perentie in 2014 from the disposal auctions.
I change the engine oil every 10 000 Km’s. Pretty good oil in my opinion and if you buy it when it is on special in the 20 litre drums, a good price too!
As Major Leslie James Hiddins AM said,
Keep It Simple Stupid or KISS for short but I appreciate learning how these other oils go in the gearbox/transfer case as far as ease of use and longevity of oil degradation and also protection from wear on the internals.
Thanks for creating the post.
Regards Warrick.
I know this is a 7 year old post but, just in case, replacements are available new (but not cheap!):Quote:

You'd need the gasket, too: LT95 Transfer Case/PTO Bottom Gasket - KLR Automotive
I’m noticing my transfer oil is quite sparkly after only 2000 klicks, been changing it quite regularly as a result. Using 15/40 RxSuper for last few years, but worried the box will Chernobyl if I don’t keep changing it. Most like thrust washer material as it’s bronze not silver….is this common for the LT95?
If you do not use engine oil - yes. But I googled 15/40 RxSuper and I would say that should be OK for it. If you have bronze specs then a bit of a worry.
Has the box been rebuilt recently?
No, I’ve had the car for nearly 10 years, bought it in second round of auctions. Logbooks show several gearbox changes, so shouldn’t have too many kms on it. Most likely material from centre diff thrust washers. I’m not equipped for an overhaul where I am…going to be sometime before I have access to my tools. Will keep changing oil until then I suppose.Quote:
