I have been working with my ST202 all summer now, and fixed a lot of things, but one problem I have was that the gearbox cooler line leaked, I still haven't fixed that, but maybe 1l gearbox oil have leaked out now.
On the oil fill plug there is a specific warning, something like "Warning! read users manual!" I GUESS that it is because my car have the factory LSD option, and therefore I need special oil. Does anyone know what oil it should be ? ..Of course I could read the owners manual, sure, but I don't have it, and the badly scanned versions I found do not have anything about the LSD as far as I can see. ..Also I cannot find the part numbers for the pipes going to the gearbox oil cooler, so I guess I have to make new ones myself, just have to get the old ones lose, when I tried the pipe broke down totally.. they are very rusty. If I look into the EPC it doesn't cover the gear box cooler at all, I guess that its only mounted with the LSD option ?

do you have an E56 or an S54??
your better off joining the fb group for official 6gc group rather than asking here as this forum only works a few times out of the month. That warning read manual is found on new drain plugs. I am rebuilding my E56/E250 transaxle and i bought that same plug. this is what I use to find parts. you can also use amayama or mega zip https://toyota.epc-data.com/celica/st202/14...3/chassis/3308/ -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

To be exact, I have two hoses there, that connect to two pipes, that connect to the transmission radiator, none of those are in any EPC I have found. -------------------- Black Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205 1996 (My love..)
