Fluids and torque

[Dann]

I have just removed my clutch and am now about to re assemble, but those 6 small bolts that hold the clutch on what is the torque setting for them please?

 

Also I had a small fail as I did not expect all the gear box fluid to come gushing out of were the prop shaft goes in, but it did and now am getting some more but were or how do I fill the box do I need one of those pump things ?

 

Many thanks

Don't forget when filling the gearbox, do it on level ground and when it's full it will start dripping out of the filler hole.

 

I used a length of polythene tube, a funnel and my iniative.

Thanks for the info I am very grateful.

 

It says v160 oil is red well mine that came out was green and stunk of Pee. Also in my book it says w58 oil. I am guessing v160 is the best and better. my car is a 5 speed manual Non turbo.

 

Many thanks

I think you can put normal gear oil in the 5 speed,ie, 75/90

Thats correct, just normal 75/90 is whats needed for the 5spd (still bl**dy expensive though!) and smells horrible.

At last have done it.

 

Many thanks for all your help
