Fluid for the 231

How much Dexron II ATF does a 231 t-case take? I can't find the specs anywhere and I don't want to drain the t-case only to find out I don't have enough fluid to put back into it.

pokey,
I checked my service manual ('97 TJ)

For the t-case depends on whether you have auto or manual:

auto trans - use 1.0L (2.2 pints) in the Tcase
manual trans - use 1.5L (3.25 pints) in the Tcase

might be a little different for your YJ, but I hope this gets you in the ballpark.

Thanks BlackSheep, I thought that it would be more than a liter and a half.

Anyone know if there is a difference between Dexron II and Dexron III?

Yeah, I got to thinking about it. When I tore my tcase apart last summer, I think it took in the neighborhood of 2 qts (about 4 pints, or 1.8L). The numbers the manual has may be for the situation where you are simply changing the fluid, not from bone dry.

yep, when I tore my YJ case apart I thought it would take quite a bit of ATF...I bought a whole case so I would have neough...it only took-1.75-2 quarts...needless to say I still have that same case form about 2-3 years ago:rolleyes:

YA dexron II is like a YJ They just made something better\
Dextron III is like TJ it is what every one has and wants better


So what im saying they just added some new stuff to the II to make it better and called it III

it takes as much as it needs to spill out of the filler.

ATF is chepa. just buy case and it will come in handy.
