I had cracked the plastic sump on my gearbox. and the oil was pissing out. (still is)first question is have I ruined the box it still ran fine changing just as smooth as ever. could that 5 mins of leaking oil hurt the gearbox. who in Sydney is equipped to deal with these and where do I get the parts. ( I want the Best Place possible)oh by the way Fraud wanted 1300 to change oil and pan. Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the pan, ford might be your only choice to get one. Shouldn't be a huge job if you have a few basic tools to do it yourself. I presume $1,300 is supplied, fitted and serviced by ford.You could try a few wrecking yards, but I would doubt they would be willing to separate the sump from the box.Good Luck,Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will also be able to sell you a steel sump pan if you decide to go down that path. They sell the genuine oil in 20L drums too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
