What problems would the tcase being out of fluid cause? what about being low on fluid? Would the fluid level have an effect on the speedometer gear?

Well I'm thinking mine might be low and that is why I have no 4wd. Any trick way to check the level?

Remove the fill plug and inspect the fluid level. It should be filled to the bottom of the fill hole.

What do you need to remove the fill plug?
If you get under it, you'll see two Hex style plugs, one on the bottom, and one on the top of the case. I don't recall off hand the size of it, but if you go to your local home depot, lowes etc.. and buy the Hex tool kit, its usually the largest one. Remove the top plug, and top it off if necessary. Fill it, until it starts to seep out, then plug it.
edit: I believe its 13mm, maybe someone can verify

Depends on the year of the XJ.....
Older ones had a 30mm nut for both plugs, newer ones had the allen head plugs....But it was a 13mm(IIRC)
To the OP
Yes, Dex III is okay in the T-case....

More than likely....
But it does not tell me why my speedometer is going crazy...

Take care removing the fill plug. I could not get mine off and had to tap a 12 mm hole in it. I put in a grade 8 bolt for the time being and will have someone weld it in so I can finally remove the fill plug.
The drain plug came out just fine, however.

I used an adjustable wrench for both. The fill plug was much harder to remove, indeed!
But I didn't use a hammer on the wrench. That would help if it was stuck even more.
Heating arond the plugs would help loosen them up too!
