changed my gearbox oil tonight and when i drained the old oil the plug was full of metal filings, i mean full!!

box is 1 yr old. is this normal?

[markimak]

nope..

sounds like someone shaved 2nd or 1st..

whats the gearbox feel like..??

[R33GOD]

the box got reconditioned 1 yr ago. it feels pretty good. it feels smooth still. On cold start/drive its hard to get into gear and it feels abit rough. i think my clutch is on its way also

prob not built properly.. could be partial machining files.. is it the first box service since the build..?

This is normal, also since you have only done the oil once on a new box. Dont stress on it as the filings are supposed to gather there.

+1. if i was you i'd run a fresh batch of oil through it, run it for a day then re-do the oil change.
