From the manual, it would appear that the drain plug is on the left hand side of the gear box underneath the axle. a little further up is another plug which you are supposed to undo when you begin filling the box and you are to stop when oil flows out of that hole. Capacity is 2 liters, reccommended is Texaco MTF 94.
The gear lube is fill for life.......enjoy..... :smile:

When Replaing I suggest the Redline MTL. Makes the car run really well. Shifts much better also...
