If you're fluid level is low, topping it up to the correct level may solve your issues without any big expense or risk of making it worse.
I think thats what I'll do for now. I wish I had some fluid to hand and I'd do it while its at the garage on saturday. It's tempting to just do the full change seeing as i already have the filter but mightt as well check the level and fill first. I'll have to check out the fillling procedure. IIRC it was 40 degrees on the 5HP19 but I have no idea for this one. Im going to have to do some creative things with the fleet in the workshop to get access to the gearbox on the 8!
