Hi,

I did one with a 'vacuum pump', tube goes down the dip stick guide, from memory it was pretty successful, I think I got 85-90% out of the sump, cant see it working too well with the gearbox as you won't have a direct route to the bottom of the unit?

I bought a vacuum cleaner powered thing a while back. American invention.

Basically a big metal can (5 US gallon/20litre) with a ball float and cage to hold it. When full, it blocks off the suction to avoid wrecking the vacuum cleaner. Works with just about any fluid, even mud. You have a hose that comes out of it with all sorts of adapters. Uses the Dyson concept of filtration.

I've tried a few different suction things, but none "completely" empties the sump. The dip tube isn't usually located at the lowest point of the sump.
