Hi all.

I only had a quick look at the Bentley manual but for a 1986+ 091/1
transaxle, could one use a borescope to inspect the transaxle 3/4
slider hub to see if it was the older failure prone part or the
updated part? Maybe put camera through the fill oil hole?

But then maybe it's impossible to view with the oil in the tranny?

Those borescopes sure look affordable these days. Not sure if this one
would be suitable but camera is only 0.33" OD. Amazon .ca
