hi folks, just looking at changing the ATF and had a look on YouTube and on the search here. Looking at the pan there are two potential fill screws, both at the opposite end from the drain plug, one is on the side just above where the pan splits, and the other is higher up and pointing towards the rear. Any ideas anyone.
Cheers Col.

I think it will be the one just above the pan on the drivers side (thats where mine is). Mine was a right b*gger to get out (needed to chisel it to get it started).

I read somewhere that it is advised that you remove the filler plug first before you drain the fluid.. As some have drained the oil, only to find that they can't get the filler plug out to refill it again!!!

Totally agree with that, I should have loosened the plug when the gearbox was out. >:( The plug must be out to check the level anyway, and I can think of no other way to fill the box

Managed to crack the filler nut, and refilled. It drove ok so I mustn't have got the right one, cheers for the help.
