Gearbox; Rear Axle; Air Cleaners; Oil Filler Cap - Triumph TR3 Instruction Book

Air Cleaners

Every 6,000 miles, remove the air cleaners and wash them in petrol,
particularly the gauzes, which must then be soaked in oil and allowed
to drain before finally wiping them over and refitting. It is very important
when refitting the air cleaners that the holes immediately above the
setscrew holes in the carburettor are aligned with similarly positioned
holes in the cleaner.

Oil Filler Cap

Every 6,000 miles remove and rinse the cap in fuel, dry off and re-fit.
Every 6,000 miles check, and if necessary, top up the oil level via the plug (1).
Every 12,000 miles drain the gearbox by removing the plugs (1) and (2).
Replace the plug (2), replenish via plug hole (1) and finally tighten both plugs.
If an overdrive is fitted, see page 51.
To ensure efficient operation and long life of the hypoid bevel gears, use only
those special lubricants recommended
and replenish with new " Hypoid " oil every 6,000 miles.
