Hi everyone, quick question. Should there be oil or grease in the hole where the shifter goes into the tranny? Thanks

There should be an OIL filler plug on the side of the gearbox housing! usually on the LEFT hand side.

The shifter is NOT directly on top ot the box, and you cannot fill it with gear oil hoping it will get to where its suppost to go!

Yeah, the shifter tower on the tranny needs oil in it seperate from the main tranny fill plug. Thats what I thought.
