Title: 3.2 Gearbox Airfilter?
Post by: Stallion on 27 September 2012, 18:26:11
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction regarding a gearbox airfilter? Does it have one? If so how much, and maybe a part number would help! Any help appreciated guys  :y

No such thing AFAIK .. there is a gearbox vent pipe, simple pipe with a bend in it, there is a gearbox oil filter, inside the sump, but no "air" filter ...... mainly because it doesn't "use" any air ....  :)

If this is relation to auto box servicing?


...there is an oil filter in the gear box, but is not a fine particulate filter in any way. I've yet to see one damaged, or in a condition that couldn't simply be washed out. And even when doing so, it's clean anyway.

Fine partices and silt are cought by the magnet in the large sump.


So IMO, check the filter, wash through, re fit. :)
