[Fot] Street TR4 gearbox

[Larry Young]

I think they tend to get air in them when they are taken apart. You can 
tell very quickly by taking off the plug where a gauge would normally be 
mounted. Spin it and see if oil gets pumped out. You might want to run 
it a while without the plug to see if the air works its way out of the 
system. I did an article on these which is at the VTR maintenance 
section. It explains a procedure for diagnosing a pump which is not 
working, but it needs to be out of the car.
