New Game CMP Brain Teaser Trivia

[Richard Farrant]

OK, to dive into Phil's question. I see that due to the plan view of the gearbox casing, at oil level height, it is slightly irregular, and by selecting a gear, ie sliding one of the gears along the mainshaft, it might displace a few cubic centimetres of oil in doing so, but it is hardly worth considering as when the gearbox is revolving, the level is not maintained as oil is everway and whichway around the box.
Not seen any note of selecting a gear before checking oil in any Chev or Bedford box (Bedford is basically a Chev design) in official manuals. Do not think the CMP gearbox is any different to aforementioned.

Hope this opens the discussion !
