always drain fluids before removing transfer case and transmission

[Zapper]

this should be common sense which i do not have because i spilled 1/3 of the fluid in the tcase on me when carrying it, because i was trying to save the fluid that was in there but i guess that it decided that it wanted to be emptied by draining onto me. So i recommend that yall don't do what i did so you don't ruin your clothing.

I tried that the last time I pulled the trans and t-case together. The whole works did a barrel roll on the way out and atf went everywhere... it worked ok the time before that. Probably won’t try that again.

I wish I had a transfer case to worry about it.

So I must have been lucky when I did mine. Well, I did spill a little bit out of the speedometer cable hole.

I've pulled mine twice in the last month, once for a clutch, then for a transmission. Drained them both the first time, but the second only the transmission. The transfer case didn't go far either one, but the second time I rolled a paper towel and stuffed it into the speedometer gear hole
