Technical gearbox oil capacity ?

[patspc]

uno mambo 997, L reg. The book says gearbox capacity is 2.4 litres (4.2 pints) but after draining could only get about half a litre of oil, up to the filler hole. It does not look as if it could hold anymore, so is the book wrong ? pat.

I Seem to remember having plenty spare too when I changed my gear oil on a 1993 999cc Uno start.

But what did I do with it

I think it was between 1 and 2 litres. How did you drain the oil?

drained it from from smallish bolt underneath (although appears half inch from bottom) and filled from bigger hole third way up on front of gearbox. engine was run before draining but not much came out. pat.

I drained gearbox oil from my uno 60S FIRE today and a little more than 2 litres came out. Drain bolt is in my case same as fill bolt. It's at left side of gearbox, under driveshaft.
