Hey gang, I'm part way through this process and was going to write up my experience at the end, but had to leave it for a work shift this arvo before I could complete the final level check.
Just wanted to check what do people think about this. The image shows my drain pan after draining the two chambers of the gearbox, the top graduation visible on the inner rim is 8 Litres (and with all that I spilled it would be right on 8 litres of fluid came out), I was expecting to see around 6.
The last service done on this gearbox was with the transmission specialist that fixed my faulty speed sensor (as noted in my sig). It would appear that they've put 8L straight in and not done the level check procedure. Either that or it's some strange property of this car and how I did things...
This keeps happening to me... When I did the engine oil on my wife's Barina early this year after it was last serviced by a professional shop, for an engine with oil capacity of 3.75L I somehow drained over 4L out...
Also can anyone tell me the torque for the drain plugs, I'm sure I've seen or heard it somewhere (might be one of the YouTube videos I watched) but haven't got it to hand now.
