Hi,
1) My car's Driver's Handbook page 7, (AKD 3915A) tells me that:
my MkII BT7's gearbox takes 5.75 imp pts (6.90 US pts)
its overdrive takes 1.33 imp pts (1.75 US pts)
2) My BMC Workshop Manual (AKD 1179D) tells me that:
gearbox 4.0 imp pts (4.80 US pts)
Total gearbox, overdrive fitted, 5.25 imp pts (6.30 US pts)
3) My Haynes manual goes for:
Standard box:- 5 imp pts
With overdrive:- 6.25 pts
4) My Autopress manual (Kenneth Ball) goes for:
Standard box:- 5 imp pts
With overdrive:- 6.25 pts
ie only Haynes and Autopress agree.
I've had this Healey for +/- 20 years and I've never noticed these
discrepancies! I seem to have survived by using the dip stick, but I'd bet
that I've overfilled more than once.
Any ideas? I don't recall this coming up before.....
Thanks,
Simon
(And I didn't mention Redline once!)
