Grant Coulson Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 In my last post I did warn you guys that I would ask some stupid questions. Heres your stater for ten. After changing the oil in the diff I moved onto the gearbox only to find that the top up bolt is only 8mm wide. Is this really the only way of re filling the gearbox. Am I looking at the wrong bolt. It appears to be correct but how are you meant to re fill the gearbox with such a small entrance. The flexible tube on the Comma bottle is bigger than the 8mm whole. I have attached an image with the offending bolt highlighted. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. TR2 gearbox.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 If your TR2 has the correct gearbox there should be a dipstick pushed into a 20mm hole in the top cover. Access is through a hole in the gearbox cover front right hand side. Should be a rubber grommet in the hole Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drewmotty Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 That looks like the one but on a TR2 you should also have a filler/dipstick on top of the selector housing. It can be accessed through a bung on the front, top, left side of the transmission tunnel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
