lukEp Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 it has a bolt that you remove and when it starts leaking out its full Quote

Flaminsam Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 hey matty. it may be a idea before draining your car to take it for a slight run first. get the gearbox oil slightly warm and then drop it. if you want your gearbox to last aswel you really need some shockproof gear oil. it is what i have been advised to put in the almera as i am planning to run 350bhp through a fwd box. i believe redline is the best company for it. its a company from the states but top fuel drag racers use it and swear by it for their diffs.

5T4R7ET N/A Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 you will need 2.5-2.8 litres, so yeah you have to buy three Quote
mattyD Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 i wont be doing it mate, that will be left to the mechanic who is fitting the lsd plus, im no where near putting 350 break through my gearbox this is the oil that was recommended to me to be used with the quaifeoil Quote
mattyD Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 how does a gearbox hold nearly as much oil as the engine anyways? Quote
Flaminsam Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 this is the stuff i mean matty. its almost bombproof. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-1022-redline-l...oil-75w-90.aspxalso think about it his way, the gears are splash fed. no oil pump in there so also not alot of ways to get rid of heat too. so if you have quite alot of oil in there the heat can dissipate better. heat is a major factor with engines and gearboxes. too much can kill it.

corofin12345 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 the glanza gearbox takes just under 2litres and the gt gearbox takes about 2.5litres Quote
H_D Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 the glanza gearbox takes just under 2litres and the gt gearbox takes about 2.5litresthat sounds about right ^ Quote
kbond Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 fitted a new gearbox in mine earlier on today, its 1.9litres mate Quote
5T4R7ET N/A Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 didnt realise that glanza gearbox's are so different in terms of holding gearbox oil. i thought they were the same as most of the other gearbox's like gt, paseo and uk spec starlets. Quote
tommykite Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 I did my Glanza last week it took 1.9 ish before it started pouring out. Quote
