I agree; I like the dipstick. The hole is small (small enough for me ("big
fingers") to struggle a bit to get the dipstick out..., not ugly or a
problem, covered by the tunnel carpet and dead easy to check before going out
on
a run. No need to get under the car.

1) Cut a nice, clean hole rather than an ugly one <g>
2) Install a later gearbox (the 3 synchro boxes after TS50,000 had a plug
on the side).
3) Add a plug in the side.
#1 would actually be my choice, as I really like having the dipstick. In
fact, the TR6 gearbox in my TR3 has a dipstick installed.
