I did this procedure a little while ago, get around four litres of oil and you will be safe for sure, you will only need about 2.5. You fill until it comes out the filler hole.

getting the filler plug could be a prob as u say... maybe take it to a workshop and they could have a peice of metal welded to it to help get it out although could be a bit difficult on a gearbox, other than that im not too sure... sorry

there is a guide in here about changing gearbox oil on an R32, try in the tutorial section under user tutorials.

I put 2 litres in and pretty sure our gearbox's are same as a vl na 5 speed and the book at supercheap said 1.9 litres.not sure which bolt your talkin about, if its the filler just fill it up from inside the car through the gearstick. VMX80 2 bottles is what oil i used plus a nulon additive something 70 there should be stuff in tutorials

good luck champ

I didn't even know you could fill up from the gearstick, sounds handy. I know which bolt he is talking about, its on the side of the gearbox, has about a 1/2 inch lug on it.

Well there you go, if filler wont come out, fill from the gearstick.
