Hi guys.
The manual says gearbox oil quantity 1.2 L. I have now put in 1.55L into a dry gearbox and it doesn`t show anything on the dipstick.
Any ideas ?

Well the new correct stick turned up today. And I can definitely say the manual that says 1.2 Liters is wrong. Mine now has exactly 1.6 L in it and the level is between the 2 marks.

Did you screw the dipstick in for the reading?
