4 speed oil change

[Sixtynine_Bird]

Hi guys!
Tomorrow we'll change the gear box oil. We'd like you to confirm the capacity of the A-833.
Is that realy 1 gallon?
Cause we found out 4 qts. We guess though that 4qts = 1gallon?
Thanks for your reply

just looked in my operator's manual, it calls for 8 pints, IIRC there are two pints in a quart,which would make it four quarts, or one gallon.

 

[Sixtynine_Bird]

All right thanks for that explication and your reply
We bought one gallon of some 80W90 Lucas oil so it'll be great thanks again

Just shy of a gallon

Carefully with that lube also. It makes an incredible mess and stinks!!!!!

 

[Sixtynine_Bird]

thanks for the advice quikbirb and you're right yesterday was a really mess that lube! ^^
And yes that was very stinky too!
First test drive with that brand new lube was preety good and got smooth shifting!

glad to hear it is doing well. make sure if you ever need to pull that transmission you get the right size plug for the tailstock end of the tranny. when you pull the driveshaft if you don't get that plug in fast the mess you just had will just be a teaser. you'll have half of the oil all over you and the floor. It doesn't wash out of the clothes, you just have to throw them away. you do not want to experience how I learned this.

too bad New Process didn't put a DRAIN PLUG near the bottom of the housing......:acme::acme::acme::acme::acme::acme::jester::jester::jester:

 

[quikbird]

True, that might have been a little smarter

 

[Sixtynine_Bird]

ok i'll keep that warning in my mind quickbird ^^ sure don't wanna know how you experienced it
Yeah it is a good idea if only they could have done it!

 

[Basketcase]

if you mean the drain plug....there is one.

 

[Sixtynine_Bird]

Oups so I guess I didn't understand what you were saying about the new process thing.
Cause yes in fact when we change the oil of the gear box we use that drain plug to get it empty.

 

[Basketcase]

no sweat...that was just a total :acme: at quick bird...

 

[Sixtynine_Bird]

Aaaaah ok! That's why!
My mistake! I'm working on my english skill, it is a good learning talking with you all!

 

[quikbird]

you are assuming basketcase actually speaks English. THis could be a bad assumption :barbershop_quartet_

 

[Basketcase]

you know what happens when you assume......

 

[quikbird]

Assumptions, assumptions. Oh well, in any case Dave merry Christmas. May you get some nice roadrunner parts this year.

I'll give you a gallon, it goes on blue but dries green. Trust me on this :groucho:

I'll deny ever saying this, but if it's in my stocking Christmas morning, I'll use it.
