DIY gearbox fluid filler. AND easy gearbox fluid change !

[twing]

You can do this with the wheel on or off - probably easiest to do the last filling step , with the wheels on and jack removed to give best level.

Ok.. I'll do the easiest one. Wheels on.. jack removed... Leave the FILL bolt off.

Then I fill it untill it leaks out.
The question: Can i put back the FILL bolt without jacking up the car again?

Thx for the answer Ben.

yes u can.

after it dribbles out - apply the 17mm bolt (dont forget the washer) by hand.
Then , from above tighten with a 17mm spanner. Easy.

you fail to realize the purpose of this thread. as above , its to make a handy tool and also how to use it. Handy , since it fills to the exact amount quickly

hang on, did you fill via the vss or filler hole???

I'm unclear on this.

and how is this method more precise than DXS's method?

Yes its filled via the VSS hole.

It is greatly more accurate than other methods. Why ? Because you are filling above and beyond the actual fill hole. This doubles as a level guide too.
Once the fluid is poured in from the top , it works its way past the main and counter shafts and around the gears etc , then fills up the gearbox. When it leaks out the fill hole you stop. Once it stops dripping this is the exact fluid level you want. 100&#37; accuracy Alot cleaner and easier than filling into the fill hole

did you even check my thread?



why bother removing the vss and the filler bolt..
just fill via the filler bolt.. there is no real difference

it is a filler bolt for a reason as well

but anyway
keep bumping the thread up

I'm guessing that for n00bs, messing with the VSS will have the slight chance of ****ing it up.
