Howdy! Does anyone know if the 22C (split-case) variant of the LT85 gearbox has an oil filter?
I've got an LT85 22c on my new (to me) 1987 v8 110. There's no telling how long it's been since the gearbox oil was changed and it's running a bit noisy. So, I pulled out the trusty workshop manual and parts catalog....
My trouble started with a diagram in the workshop manual showing how to remove the LT85 oil filter -- I couldn't find the bloomin filter. Next I found both the LT85 overhaul guide in the workshop manual and the LT85 parts list in the parts catalog. It seems the workshop manual refers only to the solid case (20C prefix) LT85 while the parts catalog has a mix of both solid- (20C) and split-case (22C).
The parts catalog diagram (see pic) seems to suggest that the filter is only for the 20C, but I'm not sure if I'm reading that right. I'd be grateful if someone could back up my suspicion that the 22C doesn't have an oil filter. What do you think?
