Re: [doc] gearbox oil change

[Daniel Shane <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul

First make sure you can get the filler plug out before you drain it.
Nothing more annoying that having an empty gearbox and no way of filling it.

Get a 10mm Square socket.  Snap-on do one and that fits perfectly.  Don't be
tempted to try a spanner as you will more than likely round the end of the
plug off.

To refill it a long bit of transparent hose and a funnel on one end.  Get
someone to fill the funnel while you have the other end pf the hose in the
filler hole.  It takes ages to fill but you can spend the time checking
other bits under the car :)
