Chott gearbox

[terry sage]

My Chott has developed an oil leak. What is the capacity that needs to go in and where is the drain plug please

This was on a early post, but can’t check as my Chott has a proper engine

Doesn’t say drain plug though

thanks all, now the next question - what is the oil recommendation, and is it a big job to change the gasket which is what i presume has failed, Is it engine out

Of course not Growler, look at the pictures, it has a big mother fucker red arrow between the frame and the case pointing at it. None of my vehicles have oil drain plugs that say what they are.

Do some research, first time I changed oil on my Bonnie, the Gearbox detent spring and plunger came out, I took the wrong bolt out.

I don’t think I even read it, thought picture was filler and a sight glass
But then I was intrigued
The Japanese think of everything, I have flipped picture as bottom of sump but arrow to drain plug (but not a big RED one)

Hello Terry
If cover will clear looks like this gasket can be changed or maybe you might need to remove engine bolts a swing/lift engine for clearance depends where leak is

I have searched in the library and cant find anything on the Chott. Is there a downloadable manual anywhere?
