97 Micra gearbox oil draining - Quinny
SWMBO,has a 97 Micra 1.3SR,and I have just done the engine oil and filter on it last week,however,as it's got 68k on the clock,and probably hasn't had a gearbox oil replacement,I thought it may be time to change it.

Does anyone have a picture of the point of draining,and the re-filling point?

Cheers muchly.

Ken.

No picture, but the drain is a bung in the bottom of the gearbox - you can't get it wrong. Fill up (IIRC) is by removing the speedo cable (little bolt holds the end to the gearbox). You need about three litre of a 75W-85 GL-4 gear oil. They actually specify 80W-90, but gearshift quality is better with the 75W-85.
