Is oil ment to come out?
Thats all i got. and found the drain plug wasnt even finger tight, it was just kinda dangling there.
Could explain my crunchy gears.

LOL
But yah your lucky your transmission didn't lock up on you if you have no intentions of replacing it.
I would highly recommend getting a magnetic drain plug especially since it ran with barely any oil in it there might be metal shavings inside. Magnetic plug will collect all that.

Does the gearbox not come with a magnetic plug anyway? They normally do.

No just a normal plug.
