--- Quote from: "TheBlueySilverThing" ---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

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

Cheers mate done the gearbox now onto the transfer box. I saw the plate you was on about but I also saw another bolt in front of this plate facing downwards what is that one for? Or are you saying I remove the plate with the 6 bolts in and then remove the drian plug. If you could clear that bit up for me would be very grateful as I dont want to mess it up. :wink:
extreme90:
no theres a 17mm headed bolt at bottom o box underneath the plate, thats what you need to remove, the plate i mentioned was simply a ref point to you start from

Silly questions now that I take it is the transmission box!!!. As you could see the plate had a drain bolt by the side of it. What I want to know is should I put ep90 back in as it seems to have had it in before. Or its just where it had not been changed alot came out pretty thick! I have put ATF back in BTW
One more thing is there any kind of stuff I can put in that will prolong the life? Thanks for your help
