Changes the Clutch where did the oil come from ?
clover:
Ahhh I thought it was only automatics that had the hairy sausage. I seem to think the engine oil went through the side of the radiator on mine so yes any gearbox cooling would have to go via the hairy sausage...

It does not however interact in any way with the water radiator, just the hairy sauage behind the grille.

My 3.5 V8 Disco did not have and Oil Cooler, unless the EFi V8s had oil Cooler

Thanks guys.
I to was confuded by the pipes running from the gearbox to the "Hairy Sausage" as this was the first clutch I had changed and the haynes manual didin't mention any pipes.
Anyway all is done now and she is back running as sweet as.

Could be I don't know :-k Ours has in and it's an'88 3.5 EFi RRC, the wife's '94 TDi doesn't (though it's an R380). There will be a HP limit at which the gearbox needs external cooling (worth remembering if you tune one up).

Still confused. Have checked everywhere that I can and still can't find an LT77 with additional connection points for an oil cooler connection......
All the LT77's that I've seen, and that's a few, there are only two holes of any size to connect to. Trouble is, these are the drain and fill points.....
As said, still confused.....
Hope to be enlightened.... this is to good to be forgotten
