Well was out playing yesterday and now have a grinding noise in 1st 2nd and 3rd , not 4th or 5th hopefully the gear box is low on oil, though doubt I will be so lucky, defo from gearbox as it don't do it when coasting!!
Anybody done a box change on an s16? Any pointers? I have a spare box to put on! f*cking pain in the arse as its my daily, just means ill have to use one of my cousins cars for a few days lol
19 years ain't to bad for a box I suppose and 10 years of that in my hands ha ha

Defo worth checking the oil level in the box and if it is ok bit be worth changing the oil before you go for changing the gearbox.
The box in my S16 had like 1/2 a litre if that in it and it was noisey in 3rd but i had decided to put a 6 speed box in it any way.

You mean the fill level drain or the actually filling point on the box?
Filling point is under the battery kind of area, black hex plug with a breather cap on top of it. The level drain plug I'm not so sure on an S16, but is that missing a bolt to the lower left of the gearbox?

The filler is the bolt just left from the drive shaft. Should be a 19mm i think
