Why anyone would leave a rag in a gearbox has me astounded!

So as to soak up the oil before it leaks out of the gearbox!

That is unreal! You would feel pretty silly after doing that too

You may find that it could be a factory fitted rag. :lol:

I have heard stories from various sources about communist workers in the UK sabotaging cars to try and bankrupt Leyland and also bring down the Government. :shock:

One story I heard was that during the 70s Leyland Australia used to split the motor off the gearbox on imported power units to check for rags after finding some during warranty work.

Apparently all left hand headlight lift motors for the TR-7 were soaked in a bucket of water before fitting. :lol:
