Apparently Ultra Tune stuffed the threading for the Gearbox Oil NUT.. i've seen it. they held it in with silicon the bastards. Carl from Patterson Lakes CRS Automotive put Liquid Metal in its place to hold it in alot more secure. I'm under the impression that i need to get the gearbox oil topped up / changed for clunky noises and hard to select gears. How can i go about getting it fixed? do i need to buy another gearbox? or can i do a temporary fix to rethread it and use a larger nut?
You need to drain the box, drill and tap the hole the next size up, then flush it out with some oil. Then fill and fit the bigger plug.
Or re-thread with a helical or similar and use original plug
i don't know to do that. But i will research it! lol.
Thanks alot for your help AusS2000 you're really helpful on this forum.

If i need to invest in some, what do i go for?
if you plan on re-tapping the filler hole id recommend having someone doing it who knows what they are doing.
basically they are going to drill it out to a larger hole and then re-thread it so a larger plug will fit in it.
^ What he said.
Get them to flush your clutch fluid at the same time and check for leaks. Same with your brake master cylinder.
Word of warning though, if they say you need a new clutch master/slave or brake mastercylinder source the part yourself. You can get them much cheaper and quicker from US online sites than through Honda Australia.
I completely agree, but Who can i trust to do this work and not ask me for my arm or leg in return? also needs to be willing to follow that DIY on grinding off the dirt and regreasing the rod with the nippple at the end for the clutch shaft or something. hope you know which one im talking about?Quote:
