Guys I did a search, and had a look in the Maintenance section, but theres no description for changing the oil in a manual trany.

Can some one please provide some insight?

Thanks in advance everyone!!

Drop the oil out from the gear box sump.

On the Passengers side on the side of the gear box, theres another plug, fill up the oil through there. I saw Niall do this to mine the other day, but I could be wrong

Btw, I used Redline Light weight Shock proof thanks to Shane for showing me the light to it. I swear by it!!!

just remember the golden rule: check you can get the filler plug out before you try the drain(sump) plug. Once you drain the oil and you find the filler plug seized there is no way of getting your lovely new oil in. Older oil is so much better than no oil at all. Learnt that the hard way in an old car I once had.

You wouldnt believe what happened Shane. The d1ck flop that did my clutch unbolted the shifter to the box to move to box back to change the clutch.

4th gear is a long story. Ill explain to you when I see you but lets just say it was negligence from the d1ck flop who did my clutch!!!
