gear box for the 2 litre
I had to visit a local wrecker and I asked him to find a transfer case or a complete gearbox from a 2 litre io....he can get a complete gearbox (won't separate) for .....$2300 !!!
No thanks !!!
Have you check if the 1.8 litre does fit ??

F*CKN STOP!!!!!!! gearbox filler!
no no no!!!!
f#ck stop - you have the wrong fill point!!!
gearbox :
filled via a hole with a 17mm plug located on the side of the gearbox next to the exhaust - I shove some rubber hose into the hole and poke the hose up past the exhaust headers into the engine bay and gravity feed into the box from there
drain is via the big 24mm plug in the center of the flat pannel under the gearbox.
Tip: stick the rear on ramps or up on a brick so that the gearbox is more level - it naturally sits down at the back when bolted into an io.
Transfer box:
filled EITHER via a fill hole at the back of the box facing rear-wards near the underneath of the transfer lever with a 24mm plug OR you can pour gear oil into the GEARBOX shifter hole (not the transfer shifter hole).
(the gearbox shifter is actually mounted in the top of the transfer box cavity, not the gearbox cavity)
Drain plug is at the bottom of the chain-drive case and is another 24mm plug rear-facing.
note: you do pool some oil in the low-range housing in the transfer box which you can only drain by disassembly - frequent oil changes are needed and if you contaminate the oil you will need to run a couple of sacrificial oil fills to help clear out the debris - none of the bolts etc drain the lower gear section)

Filler hole
There is a drain hole on the bottom and yes it will be tight - use a good ring spanner with an extra breaker bar for leverage, mabe a piece of steel pipe which slides over the other end of the spanner. It is a standard 'right handed' thread.
The fill hole is on the back end of the gearbox. You need to get a cheap oil pump from supercheap which is like an oversized hand soap pump with some clear hose.
You need to fill the transmission up with vehicle level until the oil is at the level of the filler hole.
Before you attempt any of this it wouldn't hurt to get a copy of the workshop manual from the resources section of this website. It also has detailed info about correct oil grades to use. The gearbox oil is different to the diffs for example.
What parts do you need to get it roadworthy?
Size is not important; it's how you use it that matters!
