Manual transmission/final drive oil level,
checking
5-speed manual transmission 012/01W
Special tools and equipment
Key 3357, or
Hex key socket attachment, 17 mm AF
Note:
The vehicle must be absolutely horizontal when
checking transmission oil level. This work is
best performed over an inspection pit or using a
four column lifting platform.
The prescribed oil level is to be adhered to
exactly; the transmission reacts very sensitively
to over-filling.
The oil filter plug is on the left of the
transmission below the speedometer sender; it
may be concealed by the heat shield for the
drive shaft.
Depending on the version installed, use either special tool 3357 or a
17 mm hex socket key to loosen the oil filter plug.

stationary and on a level surface (e.g engine
off, standing on an alignment lift).
