Corolla 4wd fluid changes

[kstewartacs]

Howdy folks.
I need some help here. I own a 1990 Corolla 4wd 4 door SEDAN (I know, very unusual, not a stock item). I need to change the fluids in the Transaxle, differential and transfercase, but I can't find where to put fluid into the transfer case. I'm assuming the transaxle and diff and lubricated by the trans fluid and filled through the tranny dip stick. The transfer case? I can find the drain plug, but the fill? I have been to a couple of Toyota dealers and the books don't show this application and the mechanics look at it and go "i've never seen one like this before. i'm not sure. maybe if i put it on the hoist....". Can anyone out there help me with this. Where do I fill the diff (there is no fill plug on the diff). I am an experienced mechanic who is stumped.

sedans are more common than you think my friend
download the FSM (http://d.turboupload.com/d/1344963/8...anual.ace.html) and it will tell you how to change all the fluids, p.s. the tranny fluid is filled at the top of the tranny by the battery underneath the intake tubing, remove the intake tubing and box and you will see the fill plug. an expericened mechanic? toyota has never seen one like this before? LOL
