ZX1 might help as well (shame on you Andy; for not pointing that out despite your blatant, outrageous advertising on your battery!!) :P |

Ha ha, wondered who'd spot that, gold star to you sir ;):D:D
Did cross my mind, but it doesn't go anywhere near the box unfortunatly 
Thanks for the suggestions guys :D
Went and had a look in Hellfrauds, Slick 50 looks OK, they say, remove 80ml of gearbox fluid, then top up with their stuff, all the other products inc. Molyslip etc, say just add to the gearbox?!?!?!?!?!? Must admit to being a tad confused now  :oops:

When you fill the oil you don’t have to measure it to milliters. You unscrew the large bolt on the gearbox not the one to drain it but there is one above on the side. I assume u have v6 car??!! And it’s impossible to fill too much oil or additive because the oil will just poor out. Ill recommend to change the oil too cause I assume that y don’t no which oil is it there now (some additives are not mixable with non synthetic oil) Go with Castrol 75-90 w synthetic oil I performs well cold conditions and worm, then you are on the safe side. And don’t get it on y hands the smell will stay with y for 2 days on y hands used GB oil smells like shit. For 1.5 engines there goes 2.68 L And 1.8-v6 2.70 L But there can be more I drive with about 2.8-9 L in my car after that the oil pours out the filling whole. Just calculate keeping in mind that additive comes after. And don’t worry when changed gearbox acts strange and noises.... it will go smooth after some 5-10 min driving. hope this helps

this helps a lot, especially the amounts of oil needed. mine shifts a little stiff sometimes,especially from second to third and from fourth to third which oil would you recommend for a complete swap?what are the differences? |

I particularly liked "[i]Ensure the fill-plug can be removed before removing the drain plug.[/i]"

Andy, check the leaflet that comes with the ZX1; I assure you: it CAN be used on the gearbox! |

[color=blue]Surely you can just bung it in the filling plug? Easy enough to get to, (once airbox has been removed-24 valve is 3 bolts, a screw, 2 vacuum hose holders, a vacuum hose and the electrical connectors) [/color] |

[color=blue]Just above your highlighted bit, there's component 17-495A, this is listed as PLUG, dunno if this is it, and even if it is, the diagram doesn't really help. Next time you go into a dealer, ask'em, I did for mine cos again the diagram isn't exactly clear for 24valve........... HTH [/color]
