[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 425757, member: 18629"] Well I went through the service manual and it mentions hard shifting with the first recommendation being to check the fluid level and bleed the clutch. The clutch was ok but the transmission was way low, as in almost a quart low. I topped it off and drove it a bit and found it's a little quieter but no luck with the shifting into 2nd at normal speed. Crawling or stationary it's ok but not at a normal drive speed. I recall when I initially filled it and used funnel with a very small tube. I was underneath watching for the filler port to overflow and had a helper above pouring oil in the funnel from a gallon jug but we didn't monitor how much actually went in. With the small tube it was painfully slow and took about 20 minutes before I saw oil coming back out of the hole. Since there were no sings of leaks or dripping anywhere at this point I can assume it just wasn't filled properly. Maybe it takes a long time to flow through both halves of the case or it wasn't completely level when filled. So now I have everything off the transmission and transfer case with fluids drained. I just need to get the jack in place and unbolt it and pull it away. The oil I drained sure looks dark for very few miles. When things settle out I look for gold and silver at the bottom. The good news for the day was everything underneath looked clean and new and I didn't have a single rusty bolt or nut to contend with. Could not have been easier so far.
