Re: Adding Gearbox Oil - TR3

[Bob Labuz <yellowtr@borg.com>]

Your transmission must be of the older variety. My 1958 TR3 uses a tran from a
1957 complete with dip-stick. I just lift up the carpet, check it like i check
the engine oil. Top it up from the same place. Wonder why Triumph did away with
the transmission dip-stick?
