oil from type 9 output
 

May be a stupid question but should oil run out from the output shaft end of the gearbox when there is no propshaft fitted?
I'm guessing that once the prop is fitted, the oil seals work stopping any oil from escaping but just want to be sure my box isn't duff

Yes, oil is going out from the rear of the gear box if there is no propshaft, especially if it is leaning backward, this is perfectly normal :)
Hope this will help.

Just what I wanted to hear, thanks

LOL... How many times have I ended up with Trans fluid all over the garage floor..

TT

Filled my trainers:o

I can relate to that. At least 3 times during the build.

Pored out in the boot of my car, luckily had cardboard and cloths down but it does not smell nice.

smells like cat wee :eek:

rubber glove fell off mine and went all over the garage floor!

We have cut down the input shaft from Sierra to slot in when we take out and engine and box for that very reason.

i have lost count of the amount of times i got stinky gear oil down my back pulling boxes out of cars on a ramp
who's idea was it to not fit drain plugs anymore?

i was going to say good old days but im not sure anymore :o
