Hey guys

Just trying to do the gearbox fluids but cant find the drain bung it also looks like theres a filler bung on the side and also on the rear of the box?

Doesnt help my gearbox is caked in mud

Cheers

Caleb

never looked under a lux but the gearbox and transfer case will both have seperate filler and drain plugs

sounds like you've found the fillers on the side, coz of gravity the drain plugs will have to be at the bottom of the housings caked in mud somewhere unless toyota designed some sort of way of overiding gravity to get the fluids out

Thats why I couldnt figure it out, cos there was nothing on the actual bottom of the box There was one on the side (quite low but not enough to get all the fluids out) but apart from that I couldnt see anything else except the filler bungs.

stick it into google then mate I'm sure the drain bung locations been documented on 100's of internet sites and forums before

Maybe they put it on the side so that you can drain them in their natural position (on their side)

It should be on the side , near the rear , near the bottom.
Opposite side to the filler

Sweet I thought that was it. Now i just need to find my 24mm haha.

I think you need one of those suction cerringe things with the hose like you have to fill the diff head my filler for the gearbox is on the side also but as you know I have an Isuzu but that makes no difference as some things are kept to a standard.

I think with my truck I can remove the drive shaft from the back of the gear box and let the fluid drain that way but I carn't be arsed doing that.

Not to sure if you are able to do that.

I see that you have already have found it pays to read the whole thread before I post something .

Yea i might try my suction gun on it see how i go.

Its allgood late info is better than no info

Yeah I suppose, anyway sounds as if you are all most there with get your truck going that is good news.

Yea its awesome. Wouldnt have been able to do alot of it this soon without everyone coming round to help me so thats been a great help and is much appriciated.

You should see it at the next meeting unless something else breaks

Yeah I will be there, and look forward to seeing it.
