Hi, Joe -
I've found that 3 U. S. quarts (6 U.S. pints) fills the gearbox just to the
HIGH mark after I have drained both overdrive and gearbox. I imagine that
once the overdrive is cycled the level on the gearbox dipstick will come
down a bit and allow for thermal expansion of the oil to the HIGH mark.

Subject: [Healeys] BJ8 trans oil capacity
Greetings,
What's the capacity for the BJ8 trans and od when changing the oil? The
service manual says 7.5 US pints and the owners manual says 6.9 plus 1.75
pints or 8.65 US pints. I have 7 pints in and the dipstick reads over full
but it's hard to get in to first and shifted better before and less oil
than
that came out.
Thanks, Joe Powers
