While the car was in at a local garage getting it's clutch and flywheel replaced then I also supplied and asked them to change the end cap for the gearbox as it was leaking gearbox fluid.
While I had the car up on the lift doing the brakes then I noticed that it hadn't been changed so got the garage to order up a new cap for me as they'd lost the last one I'd supplied and just fitted it myself. Once again I have to thank my friend Murray for his help and the use of his lift.
Before, still leaking:

Old cap removed and cleaned up around the area:

Once the new cap was fitted then we checked the fluid level and it took quite a bit so was definitely needing it sorted! Glad to finally have this little job done as it's been on my mind since I found it.
Another little thing is I removed the GT badge from the front grille and I'm quite pleased without it, looks a bit neater at the front end. Can easily be refitted anytime though.
