Gear and transfer box drain and fill plug sizes please!!!
Its good that the amount of info on here means its hard to search for specifics,
but the other side is , can some body please give me the size and type of fitting required to undo the above plugs. I need to change the fluids in both boxes, hoping like the difff's its just a 14mm hex but as with most G stuff i will probably be hoping after the job is done.
Hi it would help if you mention the model/year/etc.
I've done it on a 1991 463 300GE auto, the transfer case was the same as the diffs and the big allen key in the toolkit (14mm hex), but the transmission wasn't as straightforward, as I wanted to change the filter as well (you might as well do them at the same time) so I took the whole pan out. A number of small screws need taking out to get the pan off, plus the gasket is probably worth changing if it is old and hardened. There is a drain plug in the pan but can't remember if it's the same as the others, I'd assume it is, being Austro/German engineered!
hi Gib
the gearbox oil should be ATF not 80/90 ep
haha well this might - or might not- answer your question.
let me try to attach it..
Most welcome!
I get such things from my local hardware/tool store, not the big chains (B&Q etc).
Otherwise why not try the wonderful internet:

Hi Gib try i
.......
Nahh, it would be boring if i gave all the info at the start in a sensible manner.
1984 300GD M2. Manual 4 spd
Thanks for the info by the way more than likely 14mm for both then. Also why is there an option of fluids? I am just putting 80ep back in but it mentions that i have to speak to a stealer to find out what fluid was in there originaly . What other option was there???
