How much gearbox fluid for 33 GTST?

[2rismo]

I think I guessed last time as I did the clutch myself But this time i'd like an accurate measure to tell my mechanics to add.

So that's the question... How much 'Smurf Blood' do I tell em to tip in the box once it's fitted back in the car?

Thanks

4.3 litres

dont worry about oil...it will save you time draining it when the gearbox blows up

One of us has blown up cars before, Duncan. One of us has not....

and so I speak from experience when I say....It is only a matter of time

Are you suggesting my candle burns twice as bright?

NO! not 4.3 litres. the service manual says 3.8 and i'd have to say 3.5-3.8 because you can never drain it all.

i'd go through 3.5 bottles of motul gear 300.

Thanks guys. I have heard 3.7 and 3.8 litres from enough people now to use that as a guide. So the answer is "Most of a large bottle of Smurf blood".

Thanks again guys.

don't worry about measuring how much 'smurf blood to use'. Basically, the whole lot of the gears sits in a pool of oil. Doesn't matter if you put more, but don't put less, or you won't cover it all. IT's not the same as engine oil, where you should be precise.

Just put the drian plug back in. Then keep pouring into the ffiller plug until it starts to run out. For me it was 3.5 litres. Who knows, if you let it drain for 10 billion years, you may be able to put in 1.8 litres like the manual says
