HOW TO CHANGE THE GEAR OIL...

Changing your gear box oil is thought to be not necessary but i found it to improve smoothness of gear changes especially as i was having some issues changing from 1-2 and 2-3. The part number for my oil was which i got from my local dealership. If you need to know your oil number then contact rusty. I measured how much came about and it was about 1.75L and i put 2 full bottles back in.

1. Remove the belly panel undercarriage, you dont need to take it all the way off:





2. You will see this towards the passengers side, You need to remove the drain bolt which is the only allen key one in the area. Let this drain out. The bolt is magnetic so catches any broken metal or rubbish so clean this with frsh gear box oil. Once fully drained you can put the bolt back in



3. Look up towards the side of the gearbox where the oil has just drained from and you will see a thick plastic tubing, behind this is your reverse light sensor, this is where you can fill up the oil from. This picture is taken looking vertically. You can see the reverse light sensor hanging out



4. Put a funnel in the hole and run some tubing above your engine bay.



5. Pour the new gear box oil in, replace the reverse light sensor, belly panel and your done.
