i was just was looking through my max ellerys work shop book and as far as i can see the amount of gear box oil that i req is 2.2 litres the gear box type is a g52 type and as as i have read but some one in the know confirm that 2.2 lts is the
right amount many thanks peps

edit: oops, new clutch should have given away that we are talking about a manual one, 'fraid i can't help then :sorry:

I was referring to this question, not how much fluid you need.

I imported a Toyota R154 from Oz with a conversion kit for my Morgan (obviously 2wd but apart from the transfer box they are all pretty much the same). The Aussies rave about Penrite Oil and recommended that. Its all I used in that Toyota box with no probs at all. Same goes for your manual. They are really helpful and their UK agent is brilliant. The also do a very good Lim Slip Oil if you are running a LSD.
