Manual Transmission

Inspection and Verification - Manual Transmission
The following checks should be carried out before repairing or installing a new transmission:

Transmission Noise
If transmission noises are reported, check the transmission fluid level. If damage has occurred due to a lack of fluid, install a new transmission.

Oil Leakage
^ Check that the leaking fluid is actually transmission fluid and not hydraulic fluid (from the hydraulically operated clutch) or engine oil.
^ Check the transmission fluid level and, as necessary, drain off any excess fluid.
^ Clean the transmission and the adjacent areas carefully before the road test.
