Putting oil in the spitfire gearbox and overdrive

Tonight filled up the gearbox in preparation for the (soon to be I hope) first drive.

There's square plug on the side where to fill from until it overflows. Used a funnel and small tube, long process.

Had done some internet research last year and decided to go with 30 motor oil oil non detergent.

One step closer !

  2. I used gl for the diff because there are some bronze washers or something like that inside for the gearbox seems like people are happy with non detergent.

    Anyway i have a much bigger problem because the day I could start test drivng it I realized 3rd jumps out of gear...
