Fill a measuring jug with water to 200 mill and a glass part filled with whiskey.

Take your car to local gearbox specialist, leave it with them and go home.

Once back home add a slight drop of water from the jug to the whiskey and drink. Keep repeating this until such time as you can no longer remember why you took said car anywhere. At least then you will be happy and also stop asking such anal questions.
