Additional Notes

  • The Bristol 403 manual transmission holds 1.4 liters of fluid, a figure consistent with the compact gearbox designs typical of early 1950s British sports saloons.
  • Under normal use conditions, the specified check interval is set at 3,000 miles, reflecting a relatively frequent monitoring schedule suited to the maintenance practices of the era.
  • The change interval under normal use is 6,000 miles, which is double the check interval, indicating a service rhythm where fluid condition is verified well before a full drain and refill is due.
