We've all heard the phrase, "well, I've got good news and I've got bad news=
", right. =C2=A0A few weeks agosome one mentioned that maybe the reason my =
TR 6 wouldn't go into any gear while running mightbe because of low oil wit=
hin the transmission. =C2=A0So, he good news is that I was so far under my =
carthat nobody could see a 67 year old man crying. =C2=A0The bad news is fi=
rst that the nut on the side ofthe transmission case had been mis handled s=
o many times that it was nicked and bungled up that no size socketcould get=
 a grip on it. =C2=A0This caused my creative mind to churn and churn,,,,,an=
d churn. =C2=A0I decidedthat the rubber-like tapered re-stoppers I use to r=
ecork my wine bottles, if I drilled a hole into and through one,bought a ha=
nd squeeze siphon from PepBoys, ran the hose from that into the stopper and=
 the other endinto a bottle of oil and squeeze and squeeze until I thought =
the oil level were correct. =C2=A0Of course this would be a trickyoperation=
 what with having to remove the drain bolt. =C2=A0Rubber plugs and oil; jus=
t imagine the possibilities!! =C2=A0Oil came outand into the hose it should=
 have been going out of as well as all over my hand and driveway. =C2=A0I w=
ould say that yesthere was a good possibility the oil was low judging by th=
e small amount on the driveway. =C2=A0Maybe 1/2 to 3/4 cupbefore it turned =
into a drip. =C2=A0Now, how much oil to get it back to the proper level? =
=C2=A0Question #2, do you think=C2=A0that the same fountain pump I used to =
drain the pan under my leaky kitchen drain would have the same easepumping =
oil as it did water? =C2=A0(I guess I could try it first) =C2=A0Ok, along w=
ith oil came what appears to be a 3/8" magnetwith shavings on both ends. =
=C2=A0I'm at a loss on that other than to say it did it's job of collecting=
 fragments of my gears.If the pump idea doesn't work I'm not sure what to d=
o. =C2=A0The fill nut,,,,,I've tried everything and can't get anything clos=

John,

Sorry, but IMO you need to hang onto that rental and start pulling the gear=
box from the TR6.

The low oil theory was a long shot anyway.=C2=A0 Now you've got a clutch th=
at won't release plus FOD in the oil and a stuck fill plug.

Time to pull it apart.
