I know the six speed has a breather on the top, small hole ~6mm in diameter with a plastic cap on it. Found that out the hard way after leaving a box standing on its end = one oily garage floor.

www gutid, lol

iep mine has a breather on it aswel, so in theary i should be able to fill it from their ai, just itl take a hole lote longer.

Another thought, remove the gearbox speed sensor, that will give you a bigger hole to fill with.

You should be able to get the old plug out, i had to use a large 3foot extender bar and socket on mine.

the tool shape in the plug is nakerd, been all chewed up by somebody using the wrong tool, o cool ill have a go tonight with the breather and if not ill take off the speed sensor, cheers
