[Healeys] Gearbox oil volume

[Simon Lachlan]

Hi,

1)      My car's Driver's Handbook page 7, (AKD 3915A) tells me that:

my MkII BT7's gearbox takes 5.75 imp pts (6.90 US pts) 

its overdrive takes 1.33 imp pts (1.75 US pts)

 

2)      My BMC Workshop Manual (AKD 1179D) tells me that:

gearbox               4.0 imp pts (4.80 US pts)

Total gearbox, overdrive fitted, 5.25 imp pts (6.30 US pts)

 

3)      My Haynes manual goes for:

Standard box:- 5 imp pts

With overdrive:- 6.25 pts              

 

4)      My Autopress manual (Kenneth Ball) goes for:

Standard box:- 5 imp pts

With overdrive:- 6.25 pts

 

ie only Haynes and Autopress agree.

I've had this Healey for +/- 20 years and I've never noticed these
discrepancies! I seem to have survived by using the dip stick, but I'd bet
that I've overfilled more than once.

 

Any ideas? I don't recall this coming up before.....

 

Thanks,

Simon

(And I didn't mention Redline once!)
