gearbox sump plugs?

[GlanzaJim]

Is there a bolt what holds the bottom gearbox mount on go into the gearbox and act as a bung? Mine has popped out as the gearbox mount went and the gearbox oil came out,

Changing it tomorrow. Does a starlet n/a bolt fit as well as the mount?

[Idrees]

The bolt that secures the mount is separate to the oil drain bolt mate.

Yes a N/A mount will fit, if it's the rear mount then the N/A mount will have hangers welded on but you can easily cut them off.

But a bolt has come out of the gearbox and thats where the oil came from. Poured out and its direct inline with the mount. Do you understand what im saying? Cheers mate

Surely the only place for oil to drain from is the gearbox top up bolt or the drain bolt!?

[GlanzaJim]

This is weird as a bolt what came out supported a rear gearbox mount and it pulled it out then followed by smelly gearbox oil

Cracked housing it's a big 24mm bolt that's the drain

Like above.. Maybe a dodgey box. How's gear changes!?

[GlanzaJim]

Its great. Nothing wrong with it. I went over loads of little bumps in road and the bolt fell out, along with the gearbox mount split. All above the gear box etc is dry. Apart from this bolt what came out oil there. Car was running still as it turnt it it poured out

[Idrees]

This might sound silly, but the driveshaft may have come out if the gearbox dramatically moved. Sounds more likely than the drain plug falling out!

[Zeldoz]

I reckon since hitting the curb you've damaged the gearbox casing an it's seeping through!

[GlanzaJim]

Ill get a pic of it for you both. Put a screw driver threw the hole and it goes in around 1 n a half inch into box and the screw driver be full of oil. Gearbox was untouched when i hit the car, maybe it cracked the engine mount
