Knackered gearbox drainplug foto, its rough!

Post by rob1927 »

This drain plug came out of the box i've just taken out of my van, symptoms were lost reverse, and sticky gear changes, oil in this gearbox was approx 1.5 to 2 litres low, might be worth your while to check your gear oil, the fill plug on this gearbox was completely corroded in and badly damaged, i couldn't get it out to change the oil, kept putting it off and lo and behold, luckily i had another gear box to put in(now full of new gear oil) welder would have worked on the fill plug but its broken at the mo.

Has anyone come across similar? And if so what were the symptoms?
