before you all say it I know, I have made a right **** of myself, I wanted to change the tranny oil on my 04 40th, so i went straight in and struggled to remove what I initially thourght was the fill plug, after struggling and getting it out I now realise it isnt, problem is I cant seem to get the bolt back in, can anyone help establish what teh bolt is and how I can get it back in as it is only threading in so much and it is them binding.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You are a lucky lucky man if you were able to get that screw back in, and in the correct location. These are pretty touch to lineup with the gearbox taken apart.

Moral of the story is, don’t rush after a 16 hr flight to get your oil change done on a Friday, take your time and do it Saturday.
Story is not over, the gearbox centralizing spring isn’t working, does that mean gearbox out??, then does the box need disassembling?? if so I am now thinking:-
1. Should I get the 2nd gear rebuild fix (even though mine seems ok)
2. Get the LN IMS & RMS seal done
3. Replace the clutch or if it is ok leave it?, I’m on 40000 miles
any views on this developing nightmare that in some ways might give me the opportunity of some major preventative maintenance.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
