Transmission Fluid Level, Check and Correct thumbsup


Thanks for that, very useful. Need to have a look at the breather arrangement on my NA as I use the car on track a lot.


My 2005 vxt has a cap over the breather on the gearbox, im not sure if this was vauxhalls official fix but my old NA didnt have it

My original Vauxhall gearbox breather had a white cap at the end. I always assumed it was vented. :unsure:

both my NA and VXR had a small white clip-on cap - it wasnt tight and didnt have a seal so to speak so would allow the box to breathe

you dont have to be spanking it to get the box to breath hard lol... I get it on the M25->M11 junction which is a selection of S bends to get through 90deg..... mmmmm gearbox oily lmao. Had it at the national too, oh and the ring... and I'm far from fast. I wonder when I'll ever be bothered to fix it
