checking gearbox oil

[6-spoke]

hi all.

I have been cruising around the site and reading the posts about checking gearbox oil etc.

does anybody have any pictures of the correct plugs to undo etc.

I do all the basic stuff on my car but have never really tried much else, and want to be sure I am doin it right.

anything would be much appreciated.

the car is a AE111 BZG ('96).

thanks muchly

I think the drain and fill plugs are in fairly standard locations for toyota front wheel drive gearboxes

the only way to 'check' your gearbox fluid will be to have a look at it when you have drained it out but i suppose you can stick your finger in the fill plug to check the level. If you're cheap I suppose you could put it back in.

drain plug is usually below the passenger side's inner cv joint... the fill plug faces towards the front of the car and down towads the ground, it will say something like "consult users manual before filling" probably. You have to fill with a syphon pump thingy because if faces downwards.

I dont know specifically for your car but the plugs should be roughly in these locations

Oh yeah, and both filler/drain bolts on the gearbox will need a 24mm wrench to release

yeah they pretty much are in the same places. 24mm is correct theres not really anything else there to confuse thm with
