One very important point to note when checking 1963-1974 MGB trans oil
(the ones with the dipstick). When you reach in to grab the metal loop
of the dipstick with your index finger, it is VERY EASY to get your
finger caught in the loop. Because of the tight quarters you are
working in, the only way to get your finger free is to remove the
dipstick (which is what you are trying to do, right?). Well, if the O-
rings on the dipstick are stuck in the tranny, you have just become an
integral part of your MGB, hanging out the door with your finger
trapped for eternity.
Well Paul if you had checked Chapter 18 of the factory Manual
' Insertion of Body parts in Orifices of the MGB ' you would have known
this before getting your finger stuck. :)
