Hi
I changed the filter and gasket on my 1994 e250 diesel gearbox. I then refilled the gear oil. Unfortunately I was advised by my local german autoparts supplier that it took 6 litres of ATF fluid from new, so baout 5.5 litres if changed. I put 5 litres n and it worked fine for a short while, but it started to leak out through the new gasket I fitted. I think this is because I overfilled the Gearbox. I can now only get reverse gear and no forward gears. I emptied the fluid again and filled it with just 2 litres and let it run in park for a while. It now feels like it is trying to get into gear. but it is not fully getting there. If anyone has any ideas I would really apreciate it.
