Driving without gear oil

[WestCoastJosh]

I know it can cause damage in the long run, but i am forced to drive without it until tomorrow. (Serious lack of funds, hefty insurance)
Would driving without it restrict performance, as my car feels unusually sluggish???

don't drive it else bye bye gearbox.

[BrightSpark101]

i presume the oil is in the gearbox for a reason! and i imagine running your gearbox with out oil would be like running your engine with out oil!

[LeeM]

it will kill it, get the bus

[WestCoastJosh]

Oh ok i will leave it then. alrwady drove it yesterday, no real difference just a slightly stiffer gear lever. there must be some left in there.

I unknowingly lost gear oil when a driveshaft fucked it, new driveshaft, drove it around, 2 days later I had a big bill for a new gearbox...

[Lew_C]

you will completely write the gearbox off mate, get the bus as said above :)

rofl, i find it great, the he is more bothered in it effecting the performance.

proberally make it run a bag of shit.
when mine split and i drove it with no juice in the box, every gear was a cunt! and left me with a hefty bill and long 3 days to re-build it!

if you can wait till tomorrow, which isnt that bad, dont drive it man... its not work... 3 qui for a bus, 3 quid for oil... or 150 + for box / repairs / labour

I know of people who ran no gearbox oil in MAs for a few days. I wouldn't recommend it though. They fall apart even with oil in them lol

well iirc if there is no oil to lube the parts it will all fuk up, the teeth will chip and sheer and the bearings will nacker up too just dont do it lol

[smiith]

my gearbox leaks from the starter motor, and it ran near enough dry, and made a horrible noise, you really dont wana drive it if you dont have to, its just gona end up costing you £300 to have a new box fitted

[Steve]

will kill the box, just put some in ffs its a few dollar.

please dont let me wake up tomorrow to say your driving around with no oil in your engine.

[Gabbastard]

Drove one for about 15miles with no oil in, seemed fine for ages afterwards, but dont risk it. Its about 6 quid at my local motor factors for box oil; you must be able to bum a tenner off someone?

[danindarlo]

how/where do u top up gear box oil on a vtr ?

many thanks
