Good luck!!!

Use Dexron® II or ATF Plus/Type 7176 automatic transmission fluid (or their superceding fluid type).

Both the transfer cases used during that time look similar. See the following diagrams:

(If you have the 242 I believe you can use ATF+4 instead of the special Mopar fluid but I would check first to make sure).
