hi folks, long time no speak, apologies!
erm, dad has just(after a year adn a half) fitted his Toyota 5 speed and tuned 1098, but...he doesn't know what fluid the gearbox needs.
does anyone know specifically what fluid it takes?

If the box is in good condition use fully synthetic 75w or 80w. If its an older box and gearchanges are a bit stiff use Dexion 3 auto trans fluid....

hmm, not sure about condition as it was a "worked fine when removed" gearbox. i'll let the old man know though.
cheers!

about 1.7 litres from memory - but it is until it dribbles out the filler hole ;-)
