Went up to the pines for a thrash the other night. (Which by the way was awesome fun!, swingin mad nuts in the terc haha). Noticed that my car has lost a HEAP of power, and was even periodically running on 3 cylinders. On closer inspection, i noticed oil leaking out of the number 4 spark plug hole, ...

sorry if i sound like a deadbeat, but i still don't understand why you need to loosen the rear most drain plug! is it for air flow or something? Or is there just something really obvious that doesn't seem to be going through my thick skull?

it seems logical to me to remove the rearmost filler plug, remove the front drain plug, let the oil drain, put the drain plug back in, and the fill it up the the rear filler hole. Does that sound logical to anyone else? I just want 2 know why i cant do it that way ha.

so why do you need to loosen the rear drain plug 6 turns??? wont the oil just drain out when you start to refill it?? And filling it, i now am guessing that you take off all 3 filler plugs, and fill them from the front --> back. replacing the plugs as you go?? guys sorry if i sound like a deadbeat, ...

k i went on that site, i should be ok

righto cheers

but im still confused. if its not 2 much trouble can someone take some pics? or even put up a post in the repair guide section on changine g/box oil with pics? like step by step style.

that would be mint.

thanks guys

Also im assuming the the bolt to refil the g/box is just up on the side some...

Firstly replace the thermostat, and get those wires checked out. That seal stuff is called chemiweld. Do NOT use it, as already said, it can block up your head, and the youve got a huge problem. If you can, get the system pressure tested, and that will tell you how much of a leak you have. Hopefuly ...

Same thing happened 2 me, i ended up getting a new barrel (about $60 AUD). Its not hard 2 install, you definately dont need 2 take the steering wheel off, just the covers on the top and bottom of the steering shaft (like between the steering wheel and the dash to hide the indicator switch etc), i th...
