Additional Notes

  • All three engine variants of the Freight Rover Sherpa 200-300 share an identical manual transmission fluid capacity of 1.6 liters, indicating a uniform gearbox unit across the 1.7, 2.0, and 2.5 D configurations.
  • A 1.6-liter fluid capacity is a relatively modest fill volume, consistent with a compact light commercial van transmission rather than a heavy-duty gearbox requiring larger fluid reserves.
  • The 2.5 D variant carries the earliest start year in the range, with specifications covering 1984-1988, while the 1.7 and 2.0 petrol variants are specified only from 1986-1988.
  • The check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, applies under normal use conditions across all three engine variants, meaning the interval is not adjusted for demanding or severe operating environments within the listed specifications.
  • The 20,000 km check interval is a fluid level and condition inspection point rather than a full drain-and-refill service, which is a common distinction in manual transmission maintenance schedules of the era.
  • The consistent 1.6-liter capacity across the 1.7, 2.0, and 2.5 D engines suggests the manual transmission assembly was not altered to accommodate the differing power outputs of the diesel and petrol variants.
