I can't find a definitive capacity for oil in the tunnel case gearbox. Can anyone advise.

I will bet that after you scientifically calibrate 1.35 liters and fill the box, the level will be slightly below the filler hole of the box ...testing with your pinky.Tunnel case capacity = 1.35 liters or 3 lbs - page 8 of the Workshop Manual under 'filling up'

GREG you have a SIGNIFICANT TYPO... IT IS NOT 1.35 LITERS-- IT IS 1.35 Kilograms in your reference.. THAT IS HUGE DIFFERENCE... You just missed the cut for Astronaut training. Even moderators need monitoring... UncleTunnel case capacity = 1.35 liters or 3 lbs - page 8 of the Workshop Manual under 'filling up'

Thanks Greig and Reed, using 90 GL1.Make sure to use GL 1 or shell Dentax.

If it was simple as this, don't you think the manual would tell you to administer the refill in this manner? I guarantee using this method for the diff WILL push the oil past the axle seals and it will run out at the axle backing plates after driving the car. Many many rear axle seals have been misdiagnosed as failing seals because the differential was refilled to the point of spilling out of the filler hole. Ask a real tech guy like John Norman or Dean Russell if you don't heed my pedestrian advice. I'm out of here.The ultimate "can't stick my finger in the overflow hole" substitute is too simply remove the plug, put a catch pan under the trans, and continue putting in increments of oil until it overflows - then you are certain that the level is correct. This altogether avoids data and conversion correctness.
It sounds like you are, but everyone should be certain to use teh correct type of oil !!! Many "new and improved" oils would be a disaster.
