PETER Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 whitch gear oil is best for type 9 five speed's semi syn, 80,or 90, i wont to fill it so i can fit it this weekend ! Quote
Blatman Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 Make sure you bung something in to the output shaft, otherwise it'll empty itself faster than you can fill it....... EP80 GL4. DO NOT use a GL5 spec oil. It's too slippery for the synchro's. Lots more stuff here...... Quote
furtive Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 Hmm, gearboxes need oil do they? Where do you fill them? How do you know if they need filling? Quote
PETER Posted May 16, 2003 Author Posted May 16, 2003 EP 80 GL4 it is then ! i,m just off to hal frauds Quote
Nick M Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 Hmm, gearboxes need oil do they? Where do you fill them? How do you know if they need filling? *shakes head and walks away* There's a plug (like a sump plug) which needs a big allen key (ideally an allen socket on the end of a breaker bar) to undo it. You then get a funnel and a length of hose, poke it in the hole and pour oil into the gearbox until it starts to dribble out. Then put the plug back in quickly. Potential problems : - no hole cut in the side of the gearbox tunnel to allow you to get at the plug.... - access is, errr, amusing.... - you *will* end up with gearbox oil on the garage floor, all over the cockpit, on your hands, up your arm, on your nose (well it was itchy !!, on the cat, etc., etc. So, best of luck.... FWIW, I used Red Line MTL in my Tran-X box although someone on Blatchat was bleating on about Honda MTF being cheaper and possibly better. Should be available from your local Honda dealer. Quote
