slickyddyer Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Can you pour gearbox oil down a four speed cortina box's gear stick hole? 82 mk 5 Just to save getting under the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiant Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 It's more of a prick getting the shifter out than getting under the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickyddyer Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 The shifter is out now as Ive just put the gearbox back in. So can It be done that way or not mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horse25 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I tried it with a T9-5 speed, left it over night to drain in as it was taking ages, then the next morning i had a big puddle of oil under the car, had drained out the backing plate, so you cant do it with T9, but four speeds maybe different, i wouldn't risk it.
