Default Gearbox Oil ( How To Change)

Ok Guys,

Its come to that time when I think I should change the Gearbox Oil, but i'm not 100% sure on how to do it.

If anyone can give me a brief how to guide that would be great.

Ps Car is a V5 STi

Cheers Ben

Drain for a 5 speed box is at the front of the box, under the front differential. - It's a 21mm bung

Refill through the dipstick tube, then run the car through the gears and recheck the level.

Running the oil slightly over the dipstick max level marker is worthwhile IMO
