I have heard of people that get a long length of hose and feed it into the hole
on the side of the gearbox from the engine
compartment, then use a funnel to pour the oil in. Just need to keep peering
under the car for when the oil starts to leak
out of the filler hole.

Subject: [Mgs] Filling gearbox on an MGB
List,
I've just had the unpleasant experience of filling the o/d gearbox on my '72
MGB
with an old Sears oil gun. A good deal of the oil was on me and the floor. Even
less fun when you're trying to do it with the car on jackstands and ramps. 3
quarts also necessitated 6 trips from under the car for (messy) refills.
Does anyone have a better method short of buying a lift or taking it to someone
else? A pump of some kind perhaps?
The only good news is that the addition of a non return valve spring has fixed
the overdrive! Guess the guy who sold it to me on Ebay left that small piece
out!
