Yes I just went and tried to unscrew the front switch. As I said before the
actual dipstick hole (in the gearbox cover) had been molested with a cut back
to the front switch.This switch was only hand tight. So I guess adding oil
here has been done before and the molesting "by design"! I wonder if I could
also then use this as a sort of "dipstick". Does anyone know whether this
location would give the same reading of the oil levelas the right hole would
and what might be a length of dipstick?
With regard to OD tranny vs non-OD FT has replied ,and I think I can say it
is a non OD tranny. In any case I will measure the drained amount.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Ed
