Gearbox Oil, where to check the limit?

[Nick172Cup]

Hi there guys changed the gearbox oil the other day, I put 3 and a bit litres in as per the threads say on here. Am I right in saying that if the oil comes out of the wingnut where you fill the gearbox up it has to much in it? Just opened mine up and a good 1/4 of a litre came out of the box and more was trickling out.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers
Nick

It takes 3.1 litres according to edde's thread so guess it should be fine if that's what you've done.

from what i have read on here you should fill i up till it starts trickling out of the hole on the side of gearbox and that means its filled up enough.!!!

was it an easy enough job to do as im going to try mine in next weeks or so

Ah okay, as said put 3 litres in it the other day and quite a bit came out of the wingnut from the side of the front of the gearbox if thats makes sense?

Thats the general way of doing it, always go by manufatures reccomended levels though
