That F*ing gearbox

Driving in umm 'spirited' sort of way through the Blackstairs Mountains (great name's we've got here) and missed third on a double downwards chicane..Bloody gearstick just wouldn't go into gear. I was lucky that nothing was coming 'tother way as I went wide (and sideways) through the bends..

Anybody got a cure for the summertime gearbox.?.mine seems to stick when its hot/well used

Check the level of the oil, if its not that then think about replacing it with Redline MTL.

Also check the clutch adjustment, no servo's in the b so wear can cause issuses!

Plug, I'll try to find a pic so you don't drain it

*edit*
Part 7 is the fill plug and 10 is the drain plug.

Little tip for you.

You will need a 50cm bit of old hose, a funnel and a hose clip. Why you ask, well the plug is at the front of the gearbox so getting the new fluid in is not as easy as it sounds.
