Your Chilton guide is just plain wrong Joshua.

The T-case and tranny do not share anything, let alone fluids.

I have an 86 and my tranny and t-case need different fluids.

They have an air gap in-between them and each has their own seal.

They also only put a high water vent on the t-case. There is no high
water vent on the tranny so you can fill the tranny full of water and
only have to change it's fluids, the t-case will still be fine.
