Filling gearbox with oil and its all on the floor:ashamed:

[Biggs]

What have i forgotten ?

I've had the engine and box out the car, i've got it back in place and trying to fill gearbox with oil.

It seem to be pissing out from the back near the starter/drive shaft area. I can't see exactly where, is there something around the back there that i might of missed ? i cant figure out where i've gone wrong :ashamed:

Working on these cars isn't as much fun as i remembered.

where are you filling it through? isnt the fill hole round the back and you just leave the plug off the front until oil comes out.

From the front, same way i've always done it :confused:

Cheers pal, I'm slightly embarrassed now but knew I'd forgotten something simple

it feels just as bad when you forget to put the sump plug back in after a oil change :laugh:

Or filling with antifreeze only to watch it pour out the hose you forgot to pop on.
