When changing the gearbox oil do you use a new drain plug or use the old one? also do you use some sort of ptfe tape of thread compound? Thanks Graham |

What grade of oil do you guys recommend using? I was going to go for SA 75W90, but some think it is too thin for the 'box. |

make sure you can get the filler plug out before you drain the old fluid out |

Most of use the relevant Swepco from Berlyn for the box, expensive but improves the shift reduces the noise. Otherwise I'd use a good synthetic oil of the same grade, thicker will destroy the gearchange quality. |

Youll need 2.5 litres. Some manuals incorrectly stated 2 litres, which wont be sufficient. |

I,ve just done it, read Clarkes garage, he is spot on. I used a funnel , 3 foot of garden hose attatched to the funnel and filled it up till it came out of the plug, around 3 litres of SWEPCO at £50 . It has improved the shift into 3rd which was notchy. Easy job |

Easy job Simples! It made a vast difference to the change on mine, if someone had told me it was a different box I could've quite believed them!. |
