- Hi Listers, I need to drain/re-fill the gearbox on my 79 MGB. I have no idea if/when it was ever done before. From what I can see in the book the filler hole is behind the radio console (What a great

- On the subject (and without being much help to Randy), I was about to change the gearbox oil on Nancy (recently acquired BGT on her way back from a 10-year "rest"). I checked Haynes and there it said

- There is a hole with a plug in the transmission tunnel. But the way I filled it was a funnel with a hose on it. Seems there was a valve on the funnel too. Gotta be in the garage somewhere... -- _____

- The MGB gearbox can have either a top-fill with dipstick or a side fill. The 1979 car would have been built with the sidefill, but as gearboxes are interchangeable, you could have the earlier type.

- A 79 should have the side filler/level hole accessed from under the car, it changed about the time the bumpers changed from chrome to rubber. FWIW I find checking my CB easier with its built-in dipst

- Block up the car, undo the side fill plug and leave a light under the car. Open the hood (bonnet) and you can see the fill hole from under the hood on the passenger's side. Use about 4 foot of hose
