oil coming up through gearstick????? HELP

[Mr GTS4]

WHAT THE???? we just finished install my manual and we took it for a drive and its f*&!*$# awesome!!! but when we came back we found that oil was leaking from somewhere... my car is a gts4 so keep in mind the 4WD stuff. it seemed to be a red liquid but after tightening everthing under the transfer case and checking everthing we found that the oil was coming out of the top of the gearbox where the gearstick is... now does anyone have any ideas on what the hell is going on??? is it too much oil or what because the gearbox feels perfect. it selects gears fine changes fine but as soon as you get under it in second the oil starts the stray up into the car :thumbdwn: NOT COOL!

anyone got any ideas. we just thought it has too much oil and its just getting rid of it but the oil colour is red so .... i don't know. the car isn't being driven until we get this figured out.

Didnt over fill it....

[Mr GTS4]

my mate did it so i don't know.. on friday we are going to drain the whole thing and put new oil in again... you put about 4L of oil in hay??

[Jay95R33]

I think it was about 3.7 lt or something..

If I remember right, it has a breather pipe that bolts to one of the top bolts that holds the gearbox to the motor. Do you remember seeing the breather pipe?

With the oil level, with the car on flat ground, just fill it up untill it starts coming out of the filler hole.

Never filled one so check with someone that has... 4ltr may be to much

why wouldnt the box go in the other day ??

[Mr GTS4]

yer i remember forgetting the breather pipe after we did up the top bolt then having to undo it to put it up there... i'll try that. thanks alot guys. i was freaking out last night.

[Mr GTS4]

the box wouldn't go in cos of the spiggot bearing was too big on the inside diameter. so we did something really dodgy. we got another bearing to get the inside diameter found a drill bit that size... $38 later. then drilled out the one that was in there to that size. we actually did i good job of it. looked perfect and there are no noise's or anything.

[Sumo]

Lol, that is dodgy man.... did you take measurements of the bearing so that you could get another one so when the current one fails you have you new one to go in?.... thats what I would do, as soon as it gets a bit noisy, change it asap.

[Mr GTS4]

yeah its all good. the drill bit fit like a condom! lol

[Mr GTS4]

anyway back to the main point of this tread. does anyone know how much oil goes into a gts4 or gtr gearbox???

[Sumo]

Most GTR owners can afford to pay someone to service their cars, not like us broke arsed GTST owners

33 GTST box takes about 3.8 litres

[Mr GTS4]

ok guys we actually drained the transfer case and found there was about 4 - almost 5 litres in there... NOT GOOD.. we put the 2L that it needs and off its goes. and 4WD launches are so much fun!!!
