Was just reading the thread about a notchy change and figured its about time I changed the oil int eh gear box to see if this improves matters. Is Castrol Dexron III the product of choice.

So i can buy it on the way home, does anyone how much I need.

Is it straightforward, is there a gearbox drain plug ?

thanks
