Default Crush washers for diff/transfer etc.

Getting ready to do my fluids. I think I am reading conflicting things regarding the plug gasket/washers for the different plugs.

Can someone confirm this stuff up?

Rear Diff, takes 2 crushable aluminum washers? Someone said steel in a post?

Transfer case, 2 crushable aluminum washers?

Trans pan and front Diff, no washers?

Thanks!

Diff has a fill and a drain hole. So 2 washers... tip open the fill hole first [just in case there is a problem you are not left stranded ... drained oil ]

Trans pan drain hole 1 washer

Transaxle 1 drain hole 1 washer. [Fwd]


All washers are aluminum -like .

Remember to use torque wrench.

Good tip about cracking the fill first. That would be me to drain and then figure out that I can not get the fill opened up.


So to confirm, I need 6 total if I am doing all three.
