G'day
My m21 gearbox has been leaking forever I think it leaks around the front input shaft? Anyway its been a couple of years and I should top it up. I dont think I will bother draining it but i might. Do the filler plugs and drain plugs need replacing? I was hoping to just reuse them if they are brass or aluminium looks like the filler plug is just a thread do I need any kind of sealant on it? The filler plug also looks like a square bolt type do I use vice grips or something last thing in the world I want to do it strip the bastard assuming its gonna be friggen tight as I 'touched it for 7 years and before me who knows....
Also what the best oil to replace it with hoping to go something thicker maybe to stop the leak or am I dreaming?
Thanks
