2. Remove the fluid level check plug (2).

4. If the transaxle is not properly filled, remove the fluid fill cap (1) and carefully add manual transmission and transfer case fluid G/M P/N 88861800 (Canadian P/N 88861801) until it begins to flow out of the fill/check plug hole.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice (Fastener Notice) .
