You have to add the new fluid through that same inspection hole, until it starts to overflow. It is about halfway up the middle of the rear diff, exactly where the oil level has to be.

Can you add lube to rear axel in 2006 jeep wrangler x?

Yes on the rear diff. There's a plug on the back of the housing about 2/3rds the way from bottom. Remove that plug and stick your finger in to first knuckle and bend it down to check the fluid level. If you get oil on your finger tip, it's got oil in it. If not, put oil in till it's at the bottom of said hole. Put the plug back in a tighten it and You're done.

Noise seeming to come from the rear of vehichle when the vehicle is in drive. If i let off the gas pedal the noise quiets down and if I feather the gas pedal while driving in gear the noise gets louder. no...

sounds like the differental fluid is low, find the filler plug on the rear end and take the plug out, stick your pinky finger in this hole and see if you get fluid on your fingertip, if not add 85W gear oil in the filler hole until the fluid just does start to run out

How to check trans fluid vw 2001

  1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
  2. Raise and safely support the vehicle such that it is level.
  3. Place a suitable drain receptacle underneath the rear of the transaxle.
  4. Remove the filler plug on the side of the transaxle, near the halfshaft flange.
  5. Note the oil level; it should be even with the lower edge of the filler hole.
  6. If the oil level is low, add the proper type and viscosity as necessary to obtain the correct oil level.
  7. Install the filler plug, and tighten it securely.

    Rear end is poping when i make left turns.

    totally clean out your rear end,taking back cover off and spray with cleaner and air hose. reinstall with new gasket glue and add new oil, but put in 2 bottles of anti slip differential oil, then top with gear oil. make several figure 8 's til rear end fully distributes oil thru out rear end. if rear end is dirty you may have to repeat this action after5000 km. diff slip oil can be purchased at dealer

    HELP! Gear Oil Leak

    Both the front seal and the rear gasket are fairly easy fix, But don't let anybody over torque the seal, You can add more oil, and let it sling all over the place, your car will never rust, the filler plug looks like a bolt with a square hole in it, the end of ratchet or breaker bar will fit it, 1/2 inch, you can fill it up there. Hope this helps.

    Add transmission fluid

    On 91 vehicles there's a 17mm allen screw on the side towards the left front wheel. Open it add the oil there on a level surface and fill till oil reaches the hole and starts coming out. DO NOT FILL OIL FROM THE TOP where what seems to be a plug. It's actually the timing marks and houses the clutch. Put oil there and you'll need a new clutch.
