A favour please

[SaskStag]

But you would have done it for me I'm touched

Absolutely. ..but the answer would not have been to two decimal places with engineering vernacular thrown in

Some BW 35's suffer from incontinence. i.e. the car marks it's territory by dumping ATF out the filler tube when standing for a while. this (intermittent) fault is related to a NRV in the valve block in the gearbox allowing the T/C to drain back. My car has done it about 6 times in five years. I put a drip tray under it when it's standing for any length of time to save the mess. I want to try getting a decent seal on the dipstick when in the tube. If I'm happy with the outcome I will post more details

Thanks - interesting! My other BW 35 classic did once make a small puddle of AQF on the cardboard* on the garage floor. I was puzzled as this appeared on the other side of the gearbox to the filler - assume this was "drip round" from the problem you describe. Has not however returned.

*I line my garage floor with cardboard I had just run out of the packing for our new kitchen when a friend decided to replace theirs!!

Ian, I measured my felt bob at the top of the dip stick it is 14.1mm not a good fit.

P.S easier to measure than tube

It takes a man to admit that Especially on a public forum

I think this explains why I found ATF under my car today.
Been stood for months while I replace the head gaskets
Just ready to put heads back on so decided to make a bit more room to get good clearance and so yesterday I took a few more bits off
- including removing the BW35 dipstick!!
