Why Replace Gearbox Fluid?

There are essentially three types of gearboxes: Rear Differential (rear wheel drive vehicles),Transfer Cases and Front Differentials (4WD or AllWD vehicles).

Gearbox fluid lubricates the gears, bearings and other internal components of the gearbox. If gearbox fluid isn’t changed, heat, pressure and friction will slowly breakdown the additives in the fluid. In addition, gearbox fluid will also become contaminated with worn metal shavings from the gears inside the gearbox. This will shorten the gearbox’s life. The result could be thousands of dollars in repairs. In other words, changing your gearbox fluid at the correct interval is a good investment.
