R32 Gt-r - New Gearbox Oil Through Gearstick Hole?

[hossboss]

Has anyone else filled their gearbox by removing the gearstick, and filling it up through the hole? I just did, and it seems the oil (160 bucks worth of Redline Shockproof) was pumped back out the bloody hole again, coating the underside and rear of the car, along with the road/driveway. Awesome.

The gearstick hole is for the transfer case....transmission fluid like Castrol Tranzmax Z in there only. Is your rubber boot still in serviceable condition...if its not it will leak fluid.

how much oil did you manage to tip in there . it wont fit much ? and yeah the attesa chain throws it all out if yous seal is not pefect. and yeah its not meant to be in there anyway . red line is $28 NZ a litre . how much did you pay ?

Ah well, a lesson learned...that's what you get for doing things in a rush! I am planning on changing the transfer case next, so I guess the 4 or so litres (which have now been emptied), will be flushed anyways.

Drain the transfer case asap, transfer case fluid is ATF fluid and shockproof is gear oil.. i dunno what that shockproof + ATF (Matic D) would do to your transfer case's clutch packs.

I think you should try to flush it well or best to remove the t/f case out and clean all of the plates.

The redline is good for gears but not friendly on clutch plates.

If you want to refill it through the gearstick hole next time, drill a connecting hole between the two and fill her up with Willall gearbox oil cause it's more friendly on the clutch plates
