In the floor close to the steering column there will be a round plate held down with a screw. Take this plate of and there will be a filler plug there. I use 90 wt. oil. |

I would make sure it uses oil in the gear box not grease. if it has the manual box. I always though it gear oil was used in the manual box type but a lot use a light weight grease.

the picture above is an 8v71, i've got an 8v71
in my mci 9, and don't have that tube. as you face the rear of the coach, look on the right
side of the engine near the front of the engine itself. You should see a cylinder with a glass
level check, similar to the one that you use to
check radiator water level. if it's dark,
its full. if you can see a spring in it its
empty. The fill on mine is right there
as well; a small twist cap, similar to the one
in the picture. |

Check the flea market here, David... or Ebay.. Manuals are
available all over for around $50 per. You'd want the MC9
manual, the Detroit Diesel manual and the MC9 parts manual.
All are indispensable and worth the bucks. |

David,
We have the Parts & Maint. Manuals for the MCI's. For this situation call my friends at Power Steering Specialist' in Ohio 800-235-3076. They may ask some questions so any info you can pull off of the Tag on the power steering box will help. |
