Module 4 – Unit 2 Gearbox<br />

4.11 Lubrication (splash feed)<br />

In all gear positions (including neutral but excluding ‘coasting’ with engine<br />

stationary), the layshaft is rotating, and therefore oil introduced to the correct<br />

level will lubricate all gears and churn up to supply the other mechanism.<br />

The type of oil used in any gearbox should comply with the manufacturer’s<br />

instructions, because if the incorrect type is used, wear, corrosive attack or<br />

other defects may result.<br />
