gearbox oil all changed. i reckon nearly 2 ltr came out and mixed slightly with water!
what i have noticed is that 3rd gear no longer crunches however, when i tried to change to 4th its as if its stuck half way from neutral meaning i have to double clutch to unstick it for me to use 4th. hope this makes sense :/
any ideas what could cause this? could the gear cables need adjusting? not sure if i want to open a can of worms here lol
cheers
An update on this for anyone else undertaking the task of gearbox oil change on the Tdi 75.
I found a section of garden hose with small funnel attached set up to allow pouring of the gear oil (API GL-4 75W 90 spec) from the engine bay.
Took about 1.6 - 1.7 litres to top up.
I will be pleased to never ever have to smell that oil again. It is completely minging - particularly the dirty crappy stuff that comes out.
The result is pleasing though, gear change feels way nicer and exact
That's the one. However, factory spec is 2 litres capacity, and I've always managed around 1.8 minimum. There's always some trapped behind the baffle between 4th and 5th
