Hi

when i first start the car in the morning it seems a bit stiff for about 5 mins,

ithink adding oil to the gearbox should help , how can i do this

can somebody tell me where the gearbox filling hole is on the punto mk2
year 52

thankyou

No need to add oil unless level is low. Depending on mileage it may be worth changing the gearbox (transaxle really as its combined with the differential/transmission) oil ensuring you use the current grade. Easy DIY if you have the correct tools. Do a search as there are other posts on this topic...

Need a 12mm and 8mm Hex Or Sump Plugs IIRC

Case of - Get a Bowl under the gearbox
the Drain Plug is at the back of the Gearbox - facing the The Bulkhead on the passenger side

It may be covered in lots of road grime - so you might have to clean it first before removing it

Then unscrew the plug - drain fluid - Clean the Bung up - as it might have some small fine Metal dust - which it should catch as its magnetic

Once its drained down - replace bung
Undo the Filler Bung - its smack Back in the Middle of the gearbox itself - on the passenger side - its about half way up

Undo the 12mm Hex - And Fill the box back up with 75/80w Gearbox Oil
I think it was 75/80

And keep filling till you start to overflow out the filling hole
When its overflowing - you're full

replace bung
check daily for signs of leaks - No Leaks - Be happy with your work
