Is there a How to: for changing gearbox and LSD oil?

[Mux213]

mykkk,

Widar is right, there is a drain nut on the bottom of the axle and a filler nut half way to the top. Always first unscrew the filler nut before unscewing the drain nut, simple reason for this is that if you let all the oil out and then find out that you can't unscrew the filler nut, you wont be very happy

You need to add about 1,3 liters of LSD oil, not 0.7 as widar sais. Simply fill it up until it starts coming back out through the filler nut.

Make sure you get oil that is specifically made for LSDs, normal diff oil will not be good for the life of your LSD.

With the gearbox you have to be carefull that you don't use GL5 oil because it contains something that will harm your synchro's, so go for a GL4 gearbox oil. Same principle as the rear axle, there is a filler nut halfway up the gearbox and there is a drain nut on the bottom of the gearbox. Open the filler nut, then the drain nut, drain out the oil, close the drain nut, fill the gearbox until the oil comes back out the filler nut and then close her up and you are done.

I'll see if I can get some pictures for you tonight..
