Default No answer yet on which gear

Hi All

You are getting closer but not quite.

I put a transmission up on the bench today and photographed the relative position of the all gears in each gear range. So once we have an answer I'll post the pictures.

Think about which gear is closes to the filler hole.

Cheers Phil

Reverse gear?

Having just looked at a Chev gearbox from the outside and discovered the filler plug is on the rear face of the housing, offset well to the RHS and located on a bulge in the casting, the answer has to be reverse gear. That is, reverse idler gear would blank off the filler hole in neutral. Quite poor design IMO.
