Hi,
I`ve had my 200tdi defender for a few weeks now. It has an LT77 gearbox and the synchro is worn for 3rd gear and i have to double declutch it to drop down to it.
Out of interest, i thought i`d check the oil level. I unscrewed the side filler expecting to dip my finger in to see if there was oil in there and too my suprise fluid streamed out of the filler (all over me - joy!).
The fluid though was not like gearbox oil i`d previously used in other cars though - it was really thin, almost watery and a dark red colour - is that normal!?
Cheers, Mike
