B7100D 4WD transmission fill level

[BirdTRD]

Hi all, How "full" should the transmission fluid be? I removed the cap and see fluid about 1/2 way covering the gears in there. Should the level be all the way to the top or do I need to drain it an put a specified amount back in?
Thanks

There is a little black dipstick, in close proximity to the cap on the top of the transmission.

Thank you. I saw that but thought it was a breather cap.
Another question. I found the 3 sets of drain and fill plugs up front (wheels and diff) but for the rear diff, does that share fluid with the trans? I can't seem to find anything back there that looks like drain or fill.
Thanks

Do you have the WSM (aka service manual) for it?

Yes, I do have the WSM (422 page Workshop manual) but it is more of a disassembly/rebuild procedure manual. I found some references to drain plugs in there but nothing about fill plugs or capacities or fluid types to use.
I was able to find a B7100 Owner's manual in PDF that was far more helpful than the WSM for this. (pgs 19-20).

I guess this falls under RTFM... or better yet, Read the "right" Freakin' Manual!
