Steve, Surely you have found the refill plug on the side of the transmisson by
now :-) . Go to Wally world or one of the X-Marts and buy a marine lower end
housing transfer pump, about $5. These come in handy refilling transmissions,
rear gear cases, pumpimg out rads, and giving the occaisonal wheel chock
enema. ;-/
Cheers

that there is an eternal drop of oil hanging off the transmission drain plug on
my 1500 Midget (but no stain on the garage floor), I ought to inspect and/or
change it's oil. I have put only 800 miles on the car thusfar and believe that
it was done by the PO recently before that, but I don't want to take a chance.
I have read that it is possible (and easier) to add new oil by removing the
shifter and pouring it in the hole that is (presumably) revealed. Is this
correct for the 1500's transmission? And, if not there, where the heck IS that
filler plug anyway? I have looked at various diagrams, then the trans, and,
it's either hiding, or I am blind (probably the latter).
Any notions on the easiest / neatest way to get the task done? BTW, I figure I
will use 20/50 semi-synthetic, the same as the engine.
Also, if the answer is going through the shifter, is there anything to be aware
of when dismantling / reassembling it?
Thanks,
Steve
