Agree with Geo, an old BMC mechanic and buddy of mine suggested jacking the front end of the car way up before adding the recommended amount of oil into the gearbox, letting gravity help to pursuade the fluid back into the O/D.

Is it possible that I did not put enough fluid in the gearbox, even though

was starting to run out the filling hole?



You usually can't fill both the gearbox and the OD all in one go.  You
either have to wait awhile and add more or run things a bit and add more.

I think you'll find that it will now accept more oil.
