Transmission Fill & drain plugs query

LeftFoot · Apr 5, 2014

Greetings,

I've changed the oil for my front & rear diffs as well as my transfer box last week.
I'm now looking to do the transmission however unlike the diffs and transfer box which have 1/2 bungs it appears (not very easy to spot) that the filler plug is a star/torx shaped plug whereas the drain plug is a large Hex nut.

Can anyone confirm the sizes of both for me so I can acquire the correct tools?

This is on a 300tdi Defender, I believe the box is a R380.

Thanks in advance.

t55 torx bit for filler and 1"1/4 or 32mm for drain

Fantastic. Thanks a million. I've seen my tool collection grow everyday now since owning a LR.

Does the R380 have an extension case that needs draining too? I know the LT77 does

it has an extension case but like lt77 it drains through main plug ,plug on lt77 is so you can clean pump strainer
