Lotus 5 Speed
Posted: Thu Dec 10, 2015 10:44 am
I've just acquired a Elan 5 speed for a possible future project.
I would like to lift the cover, give it a visual and fill up with oil for preservation etc.
Is it OK to simply take off cover "A" ? Nothing nasty going to spring at me?
I'd also like to remove the gear stick. Which probably means removing cover "B"? Or will it detach without removing the cover? The surround has flats, presumably for a spanner, but I don't want too try to hard unlit I know it should be OK.
Straight EP80 oil suitable for now?
Thanks in advance.

P.S. Apologies for the owner of the image I pinched.
