Thanks very much for your reply. Do you know roughly how much fluid this will take. I dont want to over or underfill it thank Martin

I have just got a replacement gearbox from Japan as my last one failed. Prior to fitting the replacement gearbox i dropped the sump to change the filter and noticed quite a lot of metal shavings on all 3 sump magnets. I believe it is normal to have some metal shavings but not sure if this amount is normal. thanks for any help Martin.

Yes I did remove the stainer. Going to source another gearbox. Thanks for your reply.

Hi. We finally got round to draining oil and removing sump (there was just over 5 ltrs of oil ) and dropped the sump. The sump was full of metal as per attached photos. The 2 biggest bits of metal are shown against a lighter for scale. Assuming something is seriously wrong with the gear box. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you for your reply Paul. No I haven't. Is there an issue with gear boxes in a Velfire using oil that I don't know about. I will check and let you know ow I get on thanks
