Re: Gearbox oil

I have removed the filler plug on the transaxle.The washer won't detach from the plug am I right in assuming you cut it off. Also should I replace it with a copper or aluminium washer.

Gearbox oil

Ford Probe 2.0 1994

Should the gearbox/transaxle oil be changed as a matter of routine maintenance.
I shouldn't think mine has ever been changed.

Thanks

Re: Steering Rack

There is a item in the oracle about removing a steering rack in which it mentions dropping the subframe. Ive looked in the Haynes manual which said to drop the subframe and also in the Chilton's manual which doesn't. All a bit confusing.

Front Bumper removal

When removing the front bumper does the inner black grid come away with the cover and how is it attached to the cover.

When turning the centre screw it won't withdraw . is there a trick as to how to remove these if not can they be drilled ...

Engine oil

Ford Probe 1994 2.0 16v

I've read a lot of details about the correct oil for the 16v.
When you look online there are various brands and descriptions.
So would Shell Helix HX7 10w/40 semi synthetic be OK to use on a 1994 16v.

Hi
Is there a easy way to reduce the noise made by noisy tappets.
Also are the hydraulic valve lifters the same for 16 v and 24v
Thanks
