Gear box and transfer box.

(1/5) > >>

Tango:
I want to change the oil in my gearbox on a 2.5TD F plate 89. What I want to know is where do you fill it up? I can clearly see the drain plug but where is the filler hole. Also the transfer box is that a seperate fill? If you have any diagrams please let me know if you could send them to me or post a link would be most grateful. Do I have to strip the inside of the truck to get to it????? Thanks.  :wink:

right, transfere box fill is above the sticker that shows the ratio of the box, up side of the hand break drum, so looking from back o lanny, its on the left side of h/break drum

g/box fill is a square head that is on the side of the casing up above the transfer box at the front ( where the front prop bolts to )

hope this helps

btw ep90 in t/box  atf in g/box

Could not have asked for more cheers mate ill fill them up tomorrow BTW where are the drain plugs?

extreme90:
right
transfer box drain is a 17mm head bolt underneath the transfere box on the contour bit underneath the inspection plate ( rectangle in shape with about 10 pins holding it on)
theres a magnet on the end to catch any bits of metal filings, dont be alarmed if its covered in filings or if theres chunks on there, its normal

main box now

theres a big bolt directly underneath just before it joins upto the transfer box, undo that then inside the tube theres a filter, remove that and clean it out

then on the side of the boc between the t/box and the g/b there is another big bolt head ( thats the main drain hole, undo that and itll gush out

expect to see a cruddy brownish colour or even white to come it
its normal, so again dont be alarmed

to fill the box i find its best be done inside cab, remove the gearstick gatier ( unscrew the gearnobs 1st ) and using abit of pipe from a funnel, pour it in, roughly 2.7 liters off top of head

hope that helps
