Re: Checking oil in gearbox
Chris, it's on passenger side of gearbox, it's an Allen key nut, you have 2, first is low (drain) and the other is high, above the drive shaft to the right, that's the filling point

Re: Checking oil in gearbox
You'll find the filler plug easily enough but no one has yet posted a pic of the drain plug location and that is causing some problems

The Drain Plug is located at the bottom of the diff housing, below the drive shaft

That's not going to be of much help as the 6 speed is in a completely different place.

Re: Checking oil in gearbox
Cheers for your help,
Think I better top mine up as I do drive foot down quite abit
It's not hard to get into gears though. But the misses finds it hard compared to her little micra haha.
How would I get at at it? Pull the passenger iner arch off and it should be there is it?
Will do it Monday. What stuff do I fill it up with?
Would it be better just to top it up or to change it completely?

May as well do a change while at it. Access is normally from the engine bay (above or below) not the wheel arch but not sure if the JTD box is different to most or not.

Well I haven't looked yet but think it would be awkward to get at from the engine bay as there is not much room there. But I could be wrong and it could be really simple

If like the 6 speed boxes it's awkward, but not as awkward as removing the wheel and wheel arch liner. Lol.
