    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Shaft maintenance

I wanted to check the gear oil level today. At the rear wheel it was pretty self evident. Cracked open the filler plug, got a small dribble, o.k., just like the rear end on the truck. What about the other end? There is a filler plug, but I'm not sure how to tel if there is enough gear oil in there and I can't find any specs. The shop Manual got last year only has chain drive models in it 8O.
 
on the back left edge of the transmission, just above and to the rear of the shifter shaft you will see a ridge on the case, under it will be a 6mm bolt (head is 10mm) with a phillips screw notch in it, that is where you check the level of the secondary gear box.
It should just ooze out
 
Just changed mine last night. There will be a cover over the secondary drive. You will need to remove the 4 bolts for the cover, and remove the shift lever. Then, as stated before, there is a philips head screw towards the rear of the case. You might need to use an impact driver to remove the screw without damaging it. That is what I had to do.
