Greetings

Well that=92s interesting as I will be buying the oil for the BN3=92s =
gearbox
this week. It is a 100S gearbox with a 22% OD that has been completely
rebuilt and apart from the oil used in the assembly it=92s completely =
empty.

=20

My 1968 BMC Workshop Manual (AKD 1179H) that I bought new in September =
1974
for $7.00 states that the oil capacity for a side-shift gearbox fitted =
with
an OD is 6 =BC imp pints, 7.5 US pints and 3.55 litres. I states the =
same for
a centre-shift box as well. So I will be buying a 4 litre container and
store what=92s left over for the inevitable leaks.

=20

Talking about leaks I was watching a Jay Leno video of his Daimler SP250
over the weekend and he made mention that all things over 50 or 60 years =
of
age are bound to leak.

Offhand, I'd believe the workshop manual first.  If you're doing a
drain-and-fill, you don't know for sure how much residual oil is left so =
you
have to go by the dipstick anyway.

Hi,

1)      My car=92s Driver=92s Handbook page 7, (AKD 3915A) tells me =
that:

my MkII BT7=92s gearbox takes 5.75 imp pts (6.90 US pts)=20

its overdrive takes 1.33 imp pts (1.75 US pts)

=20

2)      My BMC Workshop Manual (AKD 1179D) tells me that:

gearbox               4.0 imp pts (4.80 US pts)

Total gearbox, overdrive fitted, 5.25 imp pts (6.30 US pts)

=20

3)      My Haynes manual goes for:

Standard box:- 5 imp pts

With overdrive:- 6.25 pts             =20

=20

4)      My Autopress manual (Kenneth Ball) goes for:

Standard box:- 5 imp pts

With overdrive:- 6.25 pts

=20

ie only Haynes and Autopress agree.

I=92ve had this Healey for +/- 20 years and I=92ve never noticed these
discrepancies! I seem to have survived by using the dip stick, but I=92d =
bet
that I=92ve overfilled more than once.

=20

Any ideas? I don=92t recall this coming up before.....

=20

Thanks,

Simon

(And I didn=92t mention Redline once!)
