I accidently overfilled my gearbox once, by filling it through the speedo sender instead of the proper fill hole, and that made it crunch worse then before with the probably still factory gearbox oil. But I haven't driven it for more then 10 minutes since I filled it the proper level, so I don't know if that fixed it or not.
Another Cordia person I know puts his gearbox housing exploding down to overfilling the gearbox oil, weather its true or not I don't know.
If you fill it through the intended filling hole it's impossible to overfill it because it will just leak back out of the hole, for a Cordia anyway, probably same for Starion?

The starion has a small bolt in the side of it's gearbox housing, when this starts to slowly overflow it indicates it is full. I put my gearbox oil in through the actual gearstick with the gland plate off. When it reaches the bolt mark it's supposed to be full, thing is cookie said 2.3 and I only put in 2, just wondering if I filled it a bit more could it harm the gearbox?
I'm struggling to understand how lubricant can make your gearbox blow up.

hehe there'd be a lot of drag on the crankshaft as it swam under oil, no supprise it didnt last long, crank shaft aint sposed to touch the oil in the pan.

Remarkable how similar they are :PStazzyBabyYeah wrote:The starion has a small bolt in the side of it's gearbox housing, when this starts to slowly overflow it indicates it is full.
