i changed the clutch the other week (on my own too) bloody hard work getting the bugger to slot back to the engine. I managed to get the oil in to the box through the filler hole (on the side) when the box was back on the car. It seemed easy enough until the bottles get low. I just put the rest of the gear oil in to a squirty oil can and pumped the last bit in till it came out the filler hole.

Trust me when I say, you notice a difference in how quickly your Engine revs through the RPM range on little/no oil and an 2-3L of it in the g/box :wink: :wtf:

be carefull when taking out the gear lever. to watch out for the round plastic bit that's under the bottom of the lever doesn't fall into gearbox or go under the lever mechanisem.


just a helpful hint.
