Ive done some reading on here and so far know that I'll need 3.5 ltrs of 75w 90 for a 5 speed box. Ive checked the dip stick next to the gearbox mount and its dry!! so My question is - how do I drain what might be in there, and how do I re-fill with lovely new oil!?

Please help me fella's as I dont want my box giving up on me!

oh...I read 3.5 litres on here!? Will maybe have to dig a bit deeper to find out for sure. So fill carefully through the dip stick??

4.5 ltrs is for the 6-speed. An extra half ltr in the 5-spd box is ok
The drain plug is at the bottom of the front diff. Fill through the dipstick hole. Ideally, you'll need a tube to allow you to reach the hole from the 1 ltr bottles. Stand the bottles in a saucepan of hot water for a while to warm the oil for better flow, when filling.
