iv finally given up (for now) at getting my stuck fill plug out of my gearbox on my GV, but it deferentially needs a oil change so im thinking if i drain the oil and measure out the right amount could i just pour it in through the gear stick hole?

yes

Owned my old zook for over 12 years, even with different gearboxes could never get the filler out..been filling thru the gear stick hole forever )

was just thinking "sweet might do that next time"
but jimnys have a funny gear stick setup =[

[christover1]

I had to fill front diff thru breather for ages, too. had a small funnel, and a lot of patience
Can help a lot if you warm the diff oil first.

thank you gentlemen, my gearbox will soon be all nice a lubed up

Since when do territorians change the oil in anything?

I had to drain the oil out of my transfer through the front driveshaft hole

Took my gearbox out twice before finally deciding its not worth trying to get it out full. I love the taste of VMX80 in the morning.

started putting it in slowly and nothing it started pooling in the collar bit wear the gear stick goes not going into the gearbox

never heard of that b4, may be an air lock, try poking summit to break the seal ?? just guessing, no idea

[Hybrid]

Could it be something like you removed the gear lever while it was in gear?

It should have a flow back..

Follow the selector forward a lil, you'll see 4 12mm bolt's in the top of the box, you may have to take the selector box off & pour it in there..

I could of sworn it had a flow back..

Its a 1.6 GV would that make a differance

[steak_knife]

It should flow, has to have supply of oil for the selector's, so it need to get back again..

i think its in gear so i will take it out of gear, i just hope it has flow back

[experament-u2]

ok took it out of gear still nothing
i cant work it out

here a pic of my setup

[christover1]

card board roll, over hole, blow into it, see if air flows thru, then you least know if oil can get thru, maybe gv is a greased rather than oiled gearstick.

[steak_knife]

You may have to lower the box a bit, taking the mount out should be enough, & take the selector box off & fill it through there..

just tried giving the gearbox a blow job, seams liek air is flowing through but i cant be sure cause air escapes around it il try again sealing it

tried a bit of hose in the fill plug blowing up and that feels liek air is flowing

still not sure where my selector box is

[christover1]

have no idea if it is cold up there at night, but if so, warm the oil first, in a hot bath, or similar, the oil may be too thick to flow werll
