Re: Grinding noise at low speed (30km/h) on 4x4 KZ-TE when engaging H4

Do the easy stuff first. Drain transfercase oil and check for metal bits. Refill with oil and check. This is the most basic of checks to do. Toyota sells their own competitively priced synthetic transfer case oil. You will need 1.6L 75w90 GL5 oil.
