TRANSMISSION
AND DIFFERENTIAL
The transmission and differential gears are combined in the transmission
case and both lubricated with the same hypoid oil.
Timely
oil changes have
a beneficial affect on the smooth
running
of the gear trains
.
The
old oil is
drained by removing both the magnetic drain
pl
ugs while the oil is at operat-
ing temperature
.
Then refill with 2.5 liters of hypoid oil (5.3
U.S.
pints,
4.4
Imp. pints).
The magnetic drain plugs should
be thoroughly
cleaned at
500, 5,000
kilometers (300, 1,500, 3,000 miles) and then at every transmission
oil change.
As
the
plugs can only retain a limited amo unt of deposits, the specified
cleaning is particularly important when the gears
are
being run-in.
T
he drain
plugs should be removed one after the other and the holes blocked tempo-
rarily with a wooden plug.
The
oil level must be checked regularly between oil changes and topped up
as necessary.
The
oil shou ld be up
to
the edge of the filter hole.
Additiv
es should not be used with hypoid oil.
