Does this look like the right ammount of shifter turret oil?

The guys that had the car before me had the clutch done, but whoever reinstalled the shifter only put one bushing back on (and it was a top bushing they put in on the bottom) so I'm redoing it. I know the FSM calls for 80cc of gear oil, but I can't tell how much is in there currently. Does this look correct?

I would agree that it's close enough. Do not fill the oil to the top of the shifter. I've had many cars come in with issues because of this. It will leak out and stink up the interior and burn on the exhaust and just make a big mess.
