Fill to the bottom of the fill plug and replace that, then remove the reverse switch and fill with another 400ml - 500ml. Some say 400 some say 500 but its not really that critical IMHO

Not sure how much that is in total though. I think from memory its 4L to the bottom of the main fill plug

How do you fill your gearbox? Will have to do mine soon. Is there some sort of small hand pump you can buy? There's no way in hell of getting the spout of a measuring jug/oil can etc in there. When I did the oil in the aussie 4 speed in my VC I managed to balance the oil container in the engine bay and ran a tube from the container into the filler hole on the gear box and siphoned it in. It was slow and messy though and I'd rather not try it again.
