Anybody know the manual gearbox oil capacity, tried topping mine up last night but due to having the front end jacked up I wasent very successful. Will try again tonight via inspection cover in floor.
Noticed that I had a leak from the gearbox so tightend up all nuts etc and found some that were loose, interestingly the gearbox was reconditioned about ten years ago but has always had a mysterious clonk that emanates from the bell housing area when taking your foot off the throttle, havent solved that but I did notice that the joint between the gearbox and overdrive gasket had been "assisted" by the use of silicon sealant as in the bathroom clear type stuff which probably doesent say much for the standard of the reconditioning.
Borrowed a set of the hydraulic car ramps from Colin (rare1) and they are superb make working under the car a lot easier.
