hey guys have a drama.

im currently doin an oil change in my gearbox (t56 as above) and have filled it with exactly 4l from the factory filler point.

now from what I have read on here, im supposed to put 4.8l in it and fill it from the reverse switch. problem is I can get to iit as there is a heap of casting around it and I cant get a spanner in there and I can get a socket in there coz the loom that comes out of the switch comes out on an angle.

I suppose my question is, is 4l enough in these boxes and also how have the rest of you removed the reverse switch to fill it or 3 is it possible to put the remainder .8l in through the shifter like I have filled all my other cars (except my gtr, funny story that one... but anyway.) yeah any help would be appriciated.

cheers adam

The extra .8 is to make the box quieter as the inline 6 has some weird harmonics, which causes the common roll over noise from the box.

IN short 4l is fine

Jack up the passengers side only and put the other 800ml in the normal fill hole , dont worry about the reverse.

How much of an angle does it need to get that last bit in? If your on the normal axle stands everyone buys from supercheap or repco are they maxed out?

The right angle wire and molded cover on the reverse switch is actually a plug that can be removed. It pulls straight off to reveal the two bullet terminal on the switch. With this removed you can us a spanner etc to remove the switch
