So, I am having a terrible time figuring out how to fill my transfer case in my '97 Rav4, 4 cylinder, 5 speed. Can anyone send me a photo, good description, link, anything? First time with this so I don't know if it's a standard sort of thing on all vehicles, like changing a tire, or specific to my vehicle.
If ya wanna good laugh, I drained the transmission and transfer case before finally getting the oil pan drain plug out properly. Silly Me.

Thanks

Although the transfer and g/box have seperate drains, there is only one fill plug. It's a 24mm bolt and is on the front of the g/box about half way up. There are some photos somewhere if you do a search, but it's easy to find.

I did a video on it some time ago, they share a common case as SlimJim said

I used a suction gun like this one: Amazon.com: Powerbuilt 648756 Suction Gun: Automotive

Just search amazon for oil suction gun. It'll be stiff to pump the fluid since it's so viscous, just be careful not to push too hard. I pushed too hard and a seal in the pump gave out and it pissed oil all over the place. Still got the job done, just messier than it had to be
