[QUOTE="wrenchmeister, post: 113222, member: 19332"] Does anyone know how the oil gets from the chaincase to the gearbox? I just finished cleaning out the chaincase, which had quite a bit of water in it due to poor sealing and missing bolts of the cover. I decided to remove the gearbox covers to clean them out also, but there was barely anything inside. It looks like it would only flow past at the level of the small chain gear In that case, I would have expected at least a quart of oil to come out. Perhaps there is a crossover port close to the bottom that I couldn't see? And while draining the chaincase, the gearboxes drain back to the chaincase? Any thoughts? I want to make sure they get filled back with oil, but unsure how to do it. I had thought about adding fill ports to the covers at the same level of the chaincase fill plug, but that seems unnecessary if it flows freely at a lower level. <script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"><script> [/QUOTE]
