Title: Identify function of gearbox plug Post by: Nigel on July 03, 2021, 02:26:27 PM I noticed for the first time this plug, which in appearance and position looks like a filler point, but it's far too high to be a level indicator. I have always filled via the dipstick hole, but perhaps this is a filler? Title: Re: Identify function of gearbox plug Post by: WestonE on July 03, 2021, 04:43:51 PM Hi Nigel
When you re-build a box this is removed to insert a lozenge that locates the shift levers. It is made of incredibly soft aluminum making it scary to remove and re-fit. Eric Title: Re: Identify function of gearbox plug Post by: Nigel on July 03, 2021, 05:09:49 PM Thanks Eric.
So, if I understand correctly, it's access to a gallery behind the lever shafts, used to keep them in position? Title: Re: Identify function of gearbox plug Post by: WestonE on July 03, 2021, 06:42:30 PM Hi Nigel
I refer you to the Haynes Manual gearbox re-build section and you will understand. The Haynes Beta Manual is actually helpful for a gearbox build. Eric |
