Re: NP231 lubricant
Jo Bo, what does an AW4 have to do with the NP231 transfer case being
discussed? The NP231 has no real special ATF requirements like a transmission does. A Cherokee may specify some unique ATF for the t-case but only to match what the transmission uses.

Re: NP231 lubricant
Thank you everybody for the input.
The t-case has a constant noise at 2 WD, more noisy at 4WD. Doug mentioned I might need to adjust linkage, I guess it might not very difficult to do it. What if it ia caused by a stretched chain? Anyway to repair? thanks "Herb" <haizhong_email@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:fQVJd.4121$Yg6.972046@news20.bellglobal.com.. . >I was wondering anybody can tell me what kind of fluid used in NP231 >transfer case. > The dealer said ATF+4, Haynes and car parts shop said using Dexon3,Mercon > Auto transmission fluid. > > I already changed the fluid using Dexon3,the noise from t-case is still > there.

A stretched chain requires replacement (dropping of the t-case) and is a fairly involved procecdure. It's hard to damage the chain unless the case has been ran low on lube for a long time or your turning some serious tires The linkages usually just create buzzing if they have shifted and are now touching the body. (if the sound goes away when you put a small amount of pressure on the t-case shift handle, then it's probably the links) It's hard for me to get any more ideas without actually hearing it myself. It could even be a U joint that is failing and sending vibrations back into the case. > thanks > "Herb" wrote ... >> I was wondering anybody can tell me what kind of fluid used in NP231 >> transfer case. >> The dealer said ATF+4, Haynes and car parts shop said using Dexon3,Mercon >> Auto transmission fluid. >> >> I already changed the fluid using Dexon3,the noise from t-case is still >> there.
