Changing 89 pajero gearbox oil

Hey guys im new here, so go easy.

I'v got myself an immac 89 pajero exceed with the big 4 wheel disks and 4D56 engine.

It chinks a wee bit getting into 3rd so i assume the synchros are a wee bit worn. Im going to drop the gearbox oil and replace it.

I reckon it'll take about 2.3L of oil. Can anyone confirm this for me?

Any particular brand of gearbox oil people have had good / bad experiences with? I was going to get redline heavy shockproof gear oil from BNT.

Second issue: How to do it. Is it as easy as opening the plug on the bottom of the gearbox, draining it, and then taking off the shifter and filling from the top?

Does the transfer case drain itself into the gearbox? Or do i have to manually drain the transfer case too?

I only know the basics so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks to you all - Danny.

dont no much bout the mitsi boxes but yes drop the bung on the bottom to drain the oil and on the side of the gearbox prob halfway up there is another bung to fill it wit. i not sure if transfer case is different check it for bungs.
