grease. The gearbox mountings must be well centred.

Fill the transmission with the correct quantity of the recommended oil. The best way to fill the transmission may be to unscrew the reversing light switch. A funnel can then be inserted into the switch opening.

The removal is carried out in a similar manner, with the difference that the propeller shaft must be disconnected at the rear of the gearbox.

3.2. Gearbox Repairs

Many special tools are required to dismantle, assemble and adjust the transmission. Additionally the transmission has been changed several times. For this reason it is practically impossible to describe the work involved.

A damaged or faulty transmission should be taken to a workshop for overhaul or try to obtain an exchange box. In the latter case you will need the usual chassis number, model year, etc. to ensure that the correct transmission is fitted.

3.3. Transmission Oil

An oil dipstick is fitted into the top of the transmission unit. After withdrawing the dipstick you will see a

“Min” and a “Max” mark, showing you the level of oil in the gearbox. Fig. 3.3 shows a view of the transmission with the position of the drain plugs (1), the oil dipstick (2) and the oil filler opening (3). To top-up the transmission, unscrew the filler plug and, using a funnel, fill in the missing quantity of the recommended oil (75W 80W). Tighten the plug top 1.3 kgm (10 ft.lb.).

Two drain plugs are fitted into the bottom of the transmission and both must be removed to drain the oil. Warm oil will facilitate the draining operations. Clean the plugs and fit and tighten them with 4.0 kgm (30 ft.lb.). Fill the gearbox with the quantity given in Section 3.0.
