Water in Gearbox :(
Posted: Thu Jun 15, 2006 5:20 pm
Looks like I've got some water into my gearbox . Most of the oil was fine then turned to custard at the bottom when I went to change it.
Any brilliant fixes on getting all the $#!T out of it? Ripco/Supercheap have no specific gearbox flush like you can get for engines.
I was thinking pouring kero in through the top (where the gear sticks go) but I'm concerned it won't all come out. Will a little bit of kero left in there cause any dramas?
Another thought was just flushing with cheap engine oil, run for a couple of seconds then drain it. Unfortunately there's no cheap gearbox oil.
A mechanic told me to just leave it draining overnight then in with the new oil.
What do you guys reckon?
