Top up gear box oil

Post by Danop » Sun Jan 31, 2010 1:29 pm

I have a 96 2.5td auto. I have discovered that my gear box oil is low but can't seam to find where to top it up. If someone can advise me that would be great?

Through the dipstick hole - use Dexron 3 spec ATF. Level should be checked with the oil hot and gearbox in D (with handbrake on and wheels chocked 8) )

Ok thanks. I thought that might be the case but I was looking for a bigger intake :)

You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.
