I was doing a major service on the Paj today. before I dropped the gearbox oil I checked the level. It was way overfull, unfortunately I had already dropped the transfer case oil with out checking the level. Are Pajs similar to Landcruisers in having problems with oil migration between the cases.

5 speed, 3l, NH. Jap import J Top. I changed fluids 40,000km ago so I know they were right. I have been getting syncro troubles with the 3rd to 2nd downshift. I had these when I bought it, but synthetic oil cured it. I'm hopeing a oil change will do the same.

There's really only 2 ways it can leak.
The input gear on the t/case has a welch plug inserted in it to prevent oil leaking through and the oil seal around the input gear itself.
I've never heard of a major leak from the t/case to the 5sp though and they are definitely not known for that issue unlike the Toyo set up.

Thanks for the info, I might just check it a bit more often in the future.
