carl13671 Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Hello,hope you are all well.Not been on here as thing have been running well.Today I replaced the bottom balljoint and in my haste the driveshaft popped out and a fair bit of gearbox oil was lost which didn't really concern me until I looked where to put in back in.I cant for the life of me find the filler plug on the gearbox to put the oil back in.I can find the drain,its there staring at me when I remove the passenger side wheel but no filler hole.Can somebody help me with this,or a gearbox photo if anybody has one would be great. ThanksCarl Quote
Johndouglas Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 I don't believe there is one. AFAIK the method is to drain off all the oil and then add the correct amount through the breather which is on top of the box. Quote
carl13671 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Posted July 19, 2015 Thanks for that John,No wonder I couldn't find it!! So this breather on the top of the gearbox is it easy to locate? I didn't look much around the top of the box for the filler but I know there isn't much room around there. Do I need to remove the air filter box? Thanks again Carl Quote
Johndouglas Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Sorry - I haven't a clue as to what needs removing. This piccy may help. The breather is No 22 - or I believe you can refill by removing the reverse switch - No 13 http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i53/Johndug/P1050432_zpso5ai7ngs.jpg[/url] Quote
carl13671 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Posted July 19, 2015 I'm on with it now john, I found the breather under some hoses on the very top of the gearbox Bit of a pain in the butt though,I've got to inject 60ml of oil at a time through an enema syringe with a bit of tubing on it lol. Thanks for your help mate Carl Quote
