Beginning to get a transmission whine. So decided to drain, inspect for bits and renew the oil in the transfer box.
Then found it does not have a drain plug.

Don't really want to do this .

I now find that the recommendation is renew the oil every 60K, little late for me !

Has anybody tried siphoning the oil out ?
