Saying that, How did the oil window give you a poor reading and cause the gear box to end its life?

Easy. If you have a look at how the oil comes in through the filler hole it pours directly into the window, plus near the window it has a deflective plate to prevent oil splash from the clutch. This also heaps oil fill up the window first.

So i thought the gearbox was full. I was tipping from a 4 litre container and chatting to someone. Thought, that didn't take much oil, checked it. Hmm window is full, must be full.
