scarecrow243 24 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hi look at the sump plug to see what type it is ie if its a square to loosen it or allan key etc then the top up plug should be the same once you remove it on level ground put your finger in the hole bending your finger downwards to see if you can touch the oil level if you can you wont need a lot of gearbox oil to top it up hope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scarecrow243 24 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hi sorry i cant remember witch side its on but it will not be high up on the gearbox as the hole acts like a fill level for the oil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
