==Removing Stubborn Filler Plug==


'''Aidan:''' It is advisdable in terms of access to partially remove the selector shaft in order to get decent access as the bearing cup inside there is an interference fit in the case and only three small holes in it so trying to fill through the reverse switch hole will take for ever
You will have to remove the gearshift rod from the box at the rear onion and separate the cup and ball, then undo the M8 nut and remove the ball from the end of the shaft, ensure the box is in neutral when you do this, ball is vertical.
Remove the three M7 bolts holding on the reverse switch housing, there will be some oil in there and a spring attached to the cover , there may be a paper gasket if late box, usually sticks to the cover
Then push the selector shaft from the nearside and it will pop out the other side, it will stick in most instances and be reluctant to fully emerge, when there's just the threaded part of the shaft showing on the nearside a firm tap with the hammer will pop it out the other side, once the bearing cup pops out of the case you will have a nice big gap to get a hosepipe in, 3 1/2 litres should be plenty

Aidan

Please can the reference to Redline MT90 be pulled from the WIKI, I do not recommend this oil at all, every box I've known that has had it has had issues, and there is a lot of evidence from the states of excessive wear with this product, Daryl at AA transaxles has been looking at this problem and now he no longer recommends it and on the Vanagon forums it's been spread about that it's not good - unfortunatly the UK importer is targeting the T3 market on ebay, based on old recommendations

The Carplan 75w/90 gl4/gl5 is what i use now that the Fuchs is no longer readily available, if you want to spend a lot of dosh then use Millers, and if you want to spend a fortune then use the SWEPCO, but personally I go with the £20 stuff regularly changed and from what I'm seeing on wear after 5 years that advice stands

Basically,. Comma SX 75W/90 or equiv. is being used by quite a few, a GL4/GL5 compromise (see below) Pure GL5 only should nOT be uised for the transaxle (see below again)
