Subject:transmission filler bolt--where?
From:Phillip Bouton

I think I found the transmission filler bolt/hole on my 87 Westy but am not
positive.  It is a couple of inches up from the bottom of the transmission,
the bolt is depressed into the transmission about millimeter, and there is a
ridge around the hole on the transmission.  It is maybe five to eight inches
from the end of the transmission towards the front of the bus. I read in a
previous post that it takes a 17 mm hex wrench that it feels like a hex
bolt. Is that it?

The Bentley manual has two pictures (two versions of transmission listed-not
counting Syncro), but I can't read the numbers on mine to figure out which
one I have (such great pictures  too-doesn't say a darn thing about how to
add/change the manual transmission fluid (&%$#%^&)).
