I just read a thread which provided a link to Spellfame's instructions for the steel clutch and noted that the "correct" oil level was 100ml. See below:

The manuals on JAG's website still indicate the correct level being when oil comes out the bolt/plug hole.
There's a big difference between the two and hoped someone can clarify which is correct and more importantly is there risk of damage if left at the "old" levels.
I had cause to check my oil level a couple of weeks ago when the clutch got unusually hot. Not saying that was a result of low oil levels in the gearbox but when I overfilled it (or what I thought was overfilling) it seemed to rectify the problem. Likely a red herring on oil levels for my clutch problem but if this thread avoids anyone else having too little oil and risking engine damage then maybe it helps.
