Im about to change the oil in my gearbox to redline shockproof lightweight, but i know the clutch is riding high (not slipping) - so im guessing its near.

Does the oil have to come out to change the clutch? Am I safe to change the oil and not have to change it again come clutch replacement?

Thanks

 

i have a six speed box fitted and only lost a very small amount when tilting my box out from car, where prop shaft enters the box.....minimal though and didnt lose any from removing shafts, cant comment on removing if its a 5 speed box???

 

I recently changed the clutch on my 2002 WRX (5 speed) and even after draining the gearbox oil, I somehow lost about 1/3 of a litre when I removed prop.

 

im on a 6 speed box. at nearly £20 for 1 litre of oil i dont want to waste a bit lol

 

haha, tell me about it. My garage floor is a shade of blue.
