Subject:Re: Trans. Oil filler plug?

I just pulled mine on an 84 2wd, 4 speed. Right side fwd, had to
(sort of) look over the shift linkage to see it. I pulled the right
rear tire to refill it with Red line  MT-90 (good sized tube and a
funnel and time). I had the 10" extension with the 17mm allen fitting
sticking out fwd of the shock so I could turn the filler plug.
