4 Speed Tranny over flow???

Post by vwbill »

Hey, does the 412 4 speed tranny have a oil over flow? I filled it after changing the gear oil but had the car jacked to one side so I could fill it and then pulled the plug and it was just running over the hole so I thought it was close but after a ride around the block it dumped out about a pint on the ground later on?? :? :( The pan gasket and screws all look clean and oil free so I think it must be coming from the front area of the nose? Thx, Bill

There is a vent hole in the rear right above the screw in shaft plug in the tail cone. That can dump oil if its overfilled. Ray
