Hi chaps,
many moons ago I bought a reconditioned type 9 gearbox from JLH. Reading various posts on the web I've discovered that this type of 'box doesn't have a drain plug as they were designed to to lubricated for life.
Does anyone know if a reconditioned gearbox will be filled with oil, or am I being paranoid and need to whip off a cover and satisfy my curiosity?
Regards
John

Roy, you are right. I don't want to wreck the 'box for the want of taking the filler plug out.

It doesn't have a drain plug, but it has a filler plug!
And that filler plug is like the minor back axle. You just fill it up until you get oil running down your arm. Then it's full!

Chris, I noticed my mistake about the filler plug after checking the 'net again. Just been out and spent 20 quid on gearbox oil so i can satisfy my curiosity
