is there anything you can do to stop the oil spurting out of the shifter and do the short shifters still have this problem

thanks for any help

OUT THE SHIFTER HOLE?

how have you filled the box? is the level right?

never heard of or seen an oil leak from the shifter!

I got this in my 180SX.

I put it down to being the short shifter due to not having a couple of the seals used for the normal shifter!

Mine leaks from the casting that the shifter bolts too, there is a metal seal/gasket/baffle that it leaks from... Maybe this is what he means???

new ones cost loads from toyota... its not bothered me enough to fix it yet lol

I tried to get a new one once........ I cant remember if it was super $$$$$ and i said ......F##K that or it was unavailable.
But i never got one

Most of the time if you pull that rubber gasket out ,clean it and the mating parts with some solvent and put it back together using some silastic it will seal up no prob

If yours is totaled i have a spare one. ---Its not new but will still seal properly.

P.S have you checked all the bolts are tight ???? Id do that first.

on that gasket, make sure you've got all six steel spacers/washers, they fit in the bolt hole cut into the rubber gasket, if you don't have them the seal crushes and distorts(will leak oil)
