    Hi,

    What is oil capacity of the clutch housing ?

    Is 75W90 synthetic oil correct for clutch housing ?

    Many thanks in advance for your response

    Best regards

    There is no lube in the clutch housing per say, but if you are refering to the gear pack that attaches to the rear of the clutch housing then it is serviced from the gearbox by an oil channel. If your gearbox is adequately full then your gear pack will be lubed as well.

    Many thanks,

    But why is there a filler plug on the clutch housing upside ?

    It holds a few ounces, but it isn't a completely separate reservoir. It is located above the main reservoir, so, if drained (and it should be), you need to introduce at least a few ounces of the new oil into the transfer gear fill plug -- the rest of the new oil can go in via either fill plug. See this thread (post #9):

    It allows another place to fill the transmission other than the side fill at the rear of the transaxel. Both are actually hard to get at and service.
