Gearbox

[statok]

Hey,

Last week i got my gu stuck in a bog hole for over a hour.

Yesterday i checked the breather hose on top of the gear box and it spurted out this grey muck.

Then i emptied the oil out of the gear box and it was water mixed with oil (Was grey).

Does that mean i need to put the gear box apart and clean everything or can i just re fill it with new gear box oil and im on my way?

You will need to flush the gear box out so get a really thin gearbox oil put it in start the car run it for a bit then drain you may need to do this a couple of times

after all that extend your diff breathers up onto the fire wall in the engine bay

Cheers for that 93patrol. When we filled it back up we put 75 85 oil back in. What how thin are we talking?

Threedogs. Already onto that mate. Bought myself a kit just waiting for aus post to deliver it to me.

I would just use cheap engine oil to flush it statok. Check autobarn to see if they have specials, can sometimes pick up 5l for less than $15.

I didnt think of engine oil actually. We and bought a cheap 5ltr gear box oil. Ill use that. Ill drain the oil out of it tomorrow and put the stuff i bought today. Then its has 2 new sets of oil in it. Then ill drop the 2nd lot then hopefully it doesn't come out milky
