I Think Im gonna leave that brake band reset alone.

Oil that was in this box doesnt look bad, and I dont trust my abilities not to make something worse, the procedure just looks too easy for me to get wrong.  Best left alone I think

I dont know how you can get it wrong...it is SO easy!


When the sump is removed there is a dome held on with 3 or 4 bolts. Remove it and there is a threaded screw with a lock nut, release it then tighten the screw to 5nm torque, back off five turns and then tighten the lock nut, this sets the brake band. Replace the dome then it`s a gearbox re-fill

Is what I have for this job....

Before getting onto the fact I havent got a torque wrench that low...
A torque (uber-low) and 5 turns sounds very easy to break up....


Or am I on the wrong path here?

Correct.

Ill leave that alone then ;)

Another thought occurs.....

I think the gearbox level plug, is the same as an oil sump plug...

of which there are 2 types, the old bolt with copper washer, torqued high
and the newer torx bold with rubber o-ring, torqued low.

Would it be worth using one of the newer o-ring sump bolts in the gearbox, to reduce stress on the fixed bit?

Yes, even removing both you dont get all the old fluid out.

Huge Thanks to Mark for fixing the sump....after a small postage hold up  >:(

Looks a cracking job, and appears to be stronger than it has ever been.

Just need to swap the boxes now and hope for the best  :D
