Has anyone else filled their gearbox by removing the gearstick, and filling it up through the hole? I just did, and it seems the oil (160 bucks worth of Redline Shockproof) was pumped back out the bloody hole again, coating the underside and rear of the car, along with the road/driveway. Awesome.

The gearstick hole is for the transfer case....transmission fluid like Castrol Tranzmax Z in there only. Is your rubber boot still in serviceable condition...if its not it will leak fluid.

how much oil did you manage to tip in there . it wont fit much ? and yeah the attesa chain throws it all out if yous seal is not pefect. and yeah its not meant to be in there anyway . red line is $28 NZ a litre . how much did you pay ?

Ah well, a lesson learned...that's what you get for doing things in a rush! I am planning on changing the transfer case next, so I guess the 4 or so litres (which have now been emptied), will be flushed anyways.

Drain the transfer case asap, transfer case fluid is ATF fluid and shockproof is gear oil.. i dunno what that shockproof + ATF (Matic D) would do to your transfer case's clutch packs.

I think you should try to flush it well or best to remove the t/f case out and clean all of the plates.

The redline is good for gears but not friendly on clutch plates.

If you want to refill it through the gearstick hole next time, drill a connecting hole between the two and fill her up with Willall gearbox oil cause it's more friendly on the clutch plates :3some:

    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
