• 5 sp. trans fill hole...where? by Trimster on 31 Jul, 2007 13:43
• Where is the lube fill hole for the 5 speed trans?  I have a POS aftermarket manual and it does not even go there.
  
  TIA

• pull out the speedometer cable and fill it there! all you need is a larg phillips screwdriver and pull the cable and gear out! Fill up and reinstall cable and tighten philips screw!  very simple to do!
  thanks Duane

• Yes, you can fill from there, but that won't let you know when the trans is 'full'.
  
  The fill plug is on the front of the transmission, facing the radiator. It's a 17MM plug, just like the drain.
  
  What year is your car? The early Mk2s have a different fill procedure then the later ones.
