Just had mine done (flush and pan) at 107k miles , oil that came out was pretty clean but previous owner just did motorway miles and no towing to 86K , I tow so thought it was prudent , rear diff oil came out spotless , front diff mucky and xfer box 1/2 mucky .

Having done mine yesterday it is noticeably smoother through the gears. 60k and some towing/spirited driving. Total cost of the DIY job, no more than £180.

I had all the fluids changed at 79000 just in case/emotional reassurance.

I don't think there is an official mileage stated as they are supposedly 'sealed for life'. How long is life?

In that case, definitely worth changing. Cheaper than a new gearbox. Forty years of progress. 1972-2012 |
