Question about filling 5 speed
I recently replaced my clutch and I ended up draining my transmission when I removed it. But after I reinstalled the trans I noticed the fill plug is blocked by the body (its in a Triumph TR7). Can I fill It from the shifter hole? Also does it need any additives? I just bought regular 80w 90. How much does it hold total? The transmission is an 81 5 speed stick.

The shifter hole is basically it's own separate reservoir and does not go to the main body of the trans,so you would essentially turn to dust before your trans gets filled!

I picked up a pump for outboard motors I am going to try and give it a shot tomorrow. I think I saw it on MAZDAtrix when you install their short shifter they say to pour some oil down the shifter hole. After I fill my trans correctly from the fill plug, how much should I pour down the shifter hole?
By the way the car is not a turbo, so it only has one fill plug.
