I have a 1998 +4 4 Seater with Rover 2lt T16 engine and I believe R380 gearbox. The reverse gear is below 5th gear.

Second gear is becoming difficult to engage when cold and still a bit notchy when warm, the rest of the gears seem fine.

I read that the first thing is to swap out the gearbox oil and have also read that this can be done on the ground as there are hatches in the gearbox tunnel.

There is only one hatch on my gearbox tunnel which is on the passengers side and there appears to be no drain or filler plug available. The only thing visable is is a square box with a couple of wires come out of it which I assume is the speedo. (would put a photo here but can find a link to do that)

Is there any way of changing the oil in the gearbox with the car on the ground?

Thanks

Laurie
