gearbox oil

hi all.

anyone tha has seen another one of my posts would no that i have a possible leak in one of my cooler pipes on my ranger rover P38. i will sort tha problem out another day, but what i want to know now is is there anyway of checking gearbox oil levels or is i just best to change oil completly. i havent got a clue since anything was last done. aint had car for more than about 3 months.

im used to front wheel drive cars and not 4x4. is it an easy job changing gearbox oil???? do i need to take box off????

Cheers all for any replies.
Mike.

Theres a big Orange "Knob" at the rear of the engine ..(About level with the passenger side windscreen) ... Thats the Gearbox Oil level Dip Stick .....

Start the engine & move the gear level from "P" to "1" & back again & THEN check the level top up down the dipstick hole with AFT (Auto Transmission Fluid) ...
