Inspection plug/dipstick(?) for early Getrag wanted.
« on: March 23, 2023, 06:43:49 pm »
The early (or at least pre-88) Getrag had a screw-in cap in the back/side of the gear case (as opposed to in the side of the differential housing).
The Getrag service manual even shows a dipstick, although I have my questions as to whether it was really a dipstick, or just a plug.

Either way, does anyone have one they can part with?
Thanks!

There was a screw-in dipstick to the left of where the VSS is located.  My 86 and my old 87 transmissions have them. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

No big. Paul said that you had 2-3 cars as well as your own car to finish, before the 40th.
