S60 D5 - Driveshaft Removal, Loss of Oil?

JTSD5 · Apr 25th, 2019, 08:22

Morning all

Just a quick one. Replacing the O/S outer CV boot today on my 06 S60 D5 manual. Just wondering when I remove the shaft from the box will I loose gearbox oil? A mate did it on his auto and said nothing came out, just wondering if it's the same with the manual box?

Cheers, Jack.

Didn’t have a drip out of my D5 manual when I changed the OS driveshaft.

Maybe a tablespoon but nothing to worry about. When refitting, push it real hard from the inner joint, don't tap on the shaft.

Brilliant, thanks for the replies.

Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly.
