Hi there,
there is a big allen key bolt on the bottom of the gearbox,undo that and the oil will come out,plus take out the other allen bolt which is on the driver's side of gearbox i think,about half way up.then replace the bottom bolt and top up with the oilly stuff from the side of the box,plus add some oil treatment.fill it up to the edge of the allen bolt hole and replace the bolt,job done hope that makes sense.
all the best john |

Can it be done easily with the engine in the car? _________________ Hugh B

Well it would be easier than taking the motor/gearbox out to do it, but only just  _________________ Scott Sander

I think it's been said before.. It might be easier to run a pipe from the engine bay to the gearbox oil filler hole. Then with the help of a funnel, just fill her up until it "overboards" (not sure this is the right word ).
Hope it helps
All the best

Well, it's not going to be me who does it! I've done enough. I'll let the garage change the oil. I don't mind paying. I want to rest now!  _________________ Hugh B
