Dana 18 oil change?
 
Hi

I have been installing a handbrake to my M38A1, and in the process the Dana
18 transfer has been empty for oil.
Where should i put new oil in, and how to figure out when there is enough?

I have spent the last hour searhing google, wothout any results.

go to earlycj5.com they will help you. there is a cover on floor by
passenger seat that unbolts. there is a plug on side of tcase that you
can use with a small hose to fill. tcase & tranny share oil so drain
tranny too. fill tranny first (there is also an inspection cover for
it too) then fill tcase.

Thanks both of you, Bill for always having a explaining picture ready and
Maxx for the very fine explanation.
My jeep is rebuild with an BorgWarner T65 automatic so there must be some
kind of sealing between t-case and tranny, since the Dana 18 properly don't
like automatic fluid?

Re: Dana 18 oil change?
 
I don't know why folks think the t-cases that are hooked to the
transmissions share the oil.

They don't.

Same for the t-case has a high water vent. Jeep transmissions do 'not'
have a high water vent so can and do get filled with water easy.

Hi Mike,
The Borg Warner, T-90 and T-14, share oil with their Dana 18 or 20
transfers. Pencils pointing to common holes:
http://www.----------.com/dana18cj5b.jpg We must fill them both and from
then on only top off the transmission, as the transfer will always be at
the top of the fill plug. That may be also true for the Original Poster,
as his Borg Warner T-65 automatic may be bolted directly to the transfer
as it also takes ninety weight: http://www.jpoils.co.uk/agri_q8.php His
transfer is painted competition orange, identify it as an International
Harvester tractor or Scout. Remember, your transfer uses an adapter to
fit your transmission making it possible to have a seal.

Re: Dana 18 oil change?
 
Bill, I looked real close at the diagrams and see you are right for
those two combinations.

Most of the others are all separate and do not share oil.

Does the T14 or 90 still have a stupid button vent? If so, the 'both'
the tranny and T-case can easily get filled with water....

Hi Mike,
I can't remember, mine blew up while they were behind the Buick V6,
when I switched to the Muncie M-22 Corvette four speed, but the heavy
wheel and foot blew that a couple of times before it got the Chevy:
http://www.----------.com/slave.jpg They surely would have used a vent
if they were only two wheel drive, but as you see there's no need for
them with that giant water inlet you pointed out on my Dana 18:
http://www.----------.com/dana18cj5.jpg I use a Dana 20 now, and keep it
out of low range, where the breaking point now, is my front driveshaft,
