GEARBOX FLUID - MANUAL MODELS

Fluid level check and top-up

1. Ensure vehicle is standing on level surface.
2. Wipe clean area around filler/level plug and remove plug and sealing washer. Discard sealing washer.
3. Check that fluid is level with bottom of level plug hole.

CAUTION: Fluid lodged behind level plug will trickle out when plug is removed and can give impression that level is correct.

4. Top-up, if required, until fluid just runs from hole. Allow sufficient time for fluid to flow and reach a common level within gearbox. Use Texaco MTF 94 transmission oil. See INFORMATION, Capacities, fluids and lubricants.
5. Refit filler/level plug and new sealing washer and tighten to 35 Nm.
