16v question erm help

I've had this before, the new cable I fitted sucked oil out the box, but first I knew was when it dripped onto my pedals! Very dangerous as you can imagine. As said before, check breather on box and oil level

did yours just turn out to be the breather hole blocked? I've noticed on mine there's no black cap covering it however this aside how do I go about checking looks clear from looking down from the top,

check the oil level if breather looks clear, undo large plug on the end of g/box, make sure your on level ground, you need 17mm allen key, put a container under hole and let oil drain until its level with bottom of hole

Don't know what mine was in the end, I just removed the cable and forgot about it. Wasn't long until the pony box blew apart anyway so I hydro clutch + 02a'd it

Worked on this issue today, I removed the speed cable from the gearbox end and inspected, removed plastic gear off the end of the cable and noticed the tiny o-seal ring had completely broken down.

So all intentions of getting a new cable I had a spare o-seal to replace this. Put this back together and will post up if any more leaks.

If this doesn't fix the problem i'm thinking of removing this and plugging up until the vr6 goes in.

new o-seal fitted to speed cable and its still pi88ing in the cabin, so next is the gearbox oil level, ive brought the 17m hex from shelfords (cheers guys)

now i can get to this nut from underneath so the process is to drain off until oil stops running out and that should give me the correct amount? obviously if its been over filled there should be oil running straight out?...until level with the bottom of the hole or does this drain off the whole box?

do i just nip up the nut after then all done?...

Undo the fill plug first obviously, as you don't want to drain it then realise the fill plug wont come out!  If the oil pours out the fill plug, then thats when it will have been overfilled. When it stops draining there then its at the correct level. And obviously make sure its level on Axle Stands. Its a PITA trying to undo them when its just on stands though, its hard to get leverage on a breaker bar to undo them. You may need to soak the plugs for a couple of days in WD40/Plusgas.

with car on ground turn wheels full left lock and then look behind and upwards at the front of passenger side wheel and you will see a large allen key plug on end of gearbox
