Can i fill a T50 through the shifter hole?

[willa]

As title states, i know it can be done with other gearboxes but not sure it can be done with EVERY gearbox.

Also i realise that the correct amount would have to be poured in as there would be no way to tell how empty/full it is.

Cheers!

might seem silly for me ton ask dude but... why? did you round the bolt or something?

[lolwat]

or your it would beeasier for you to do it through the top then to lay dwon on the ground and do it

Yes definitely, i fill every T50 this way. Fuck lying on the ground pumping the stuff in, just don't spill it on your carpet heh.

every t50 ive tried to fill thru the shifter hole has only ever taken under 1 litre.

personally i wouldnt recommend it but if you do just take note of how much it takes

[matt99]

Works fine.

1.3 liters from memory.

Yeah, just undo the filler plug on the gearbox and fill until oil starts coming out of the filler hole.

go for 1.7 litres if you have to do it that way. not 1.3 :S

Haha yeh spot on chris, wrongs tools+ rush to get car running= stupid mistakes!

Cheers for all the responses guys..
I ended up doing it through the shifter, i put in around 1.7162L in, and it worked a treat. since my console was already off it was a five min job and didnt have to get under the car/pump it in. I'd recommend doing it this way to anyone wondering.

Thanks again guys :thumbup:

If your doing any track work it pays to overfill the g/box and diff a little I have found
