Changing Transaxle Oil, Speedo Gear

[ccb056]

I'm following the procedure here and have removed the coolant tank.

I am looking for the speedo gear


Is this it?

[HJ2]

Yeah, you found it!
remove the bolt to the right of the red circle only, and you can pull it out!

What are you going to use to get the oil in the box
The reason I am asking is I think I should havea go at mine soon

I got a length of clear plastic tube about 10mm dia I think from my local aquatic centre - stuck a funnel in it and poured away....

p.s. Do not overtighten the bolt - it might shear - the manual only calls for a few ft. lbs.

That would be 10mm internal diameter or you may be some time waiting for it to fill up

I measured the exact amount that came out, to check to see if I had a leak,
and then poured in the required amount stated in the manual, which in my case was the same

I'll measure it tomorrow or sometime soon, matey. Whatever it was it did the trick

Once I get the new alloy radiator and hoses installed I'm going to use a hose with fitting purchased at Walmart and funnel to get the oil in. The hose fitting screws into the oil bottle so the mess should be minimized.

Drained the old oil and put in GM 12346190.
Running good now. The job took about 2 hours. With the right extension bar and pivoting joint it isn't too bad to get to that bolt.
