Gearbox oil capacity

Postby ASAPBLOCKY » Wed May 28, 2025 5:49 pm

I’ve just changed my gearbox oil and have refilled to just over 2.1lts is this the correct amount? It’s a 2017 6speed custom.

I spent a few years working in a garage and normally I would agree with you but I have read that the customs should be 21mm from the filler bung.

looked in the manual but its very hard to search through ..

only shows box as 6 speed automatic

Believe yours is vmt6 manual transmission -- only mentions this as part of the drive shaft section.--- I'm sure somewhere ive got the ford manual on just that gearbox ..must have been a separate thing or as explained below ..will have a look tomorrow.

i'm sure these manuals i find on the net, have whole sections missing from them, think they are demo manuals someone has copied complete with the sections missing..so .sometimes useless

Thanks for pointing the 21mm thing out.
