Subject:      how much tilt or leaning
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Fellow westy owners;
                   As many of you know the years take
it toll on our left leaning westies.   Is it not
possible that the leaning is of such magnitude that
when checking the tranny oil, that when it just begins
to dribble out the check hole that it is actually too
high.   So how much do I have to lean to the right to
offset my age and still allow for the 15mm bentley.
Does anyone have an angle on this.

subject)

I was looking at the Bentley the other night and found
something
interesting
regarding trans oil level.  Bentley claims that in an
effort to ease
shifting, the recommended level for oil (on I believe
it was 85 on),
was
actually 15mm below the oil fill plug.  Bentley
specifically states
that the
oil plug was not moved down 15mm because VW did not
want to change the
transmission mold.  Anyone else see this or have an
opinion?
