5 speed gearbox filling
Posted: 07 Aug 2018, 10:23
Morning All,
I remember from many years ago being told from local VW dealer and shown drawing , that when filling a 1984 5 speed box to fill to 15.mm below filler hole . Was difficult to judge when doing so, but hey ....
Is this statement still applicable today ?
Does everyone use this standard, or just to fill until Oil comes out from filler hole ?
Also is it possible to remove flywheel and replace seal without removing gearbox, yes I’ve read wiki !
CJH mentions a post from Covkid being able to do so .
I ask as I’m on my own with now a “glass back” , don’t want to get so involved and if my back goes I’m knackered !
Looks feasible to do and beats garage prices .
Atb,
Chris
