transmission fluid

Hey guys,
 
Can i fill my gearbox by pouring this down the gear stick hole? or do I have to get under there with a fluid pump and feed it in?
 
Cheers

Regards,

Tim

    Do you have a manual or auto? 
     
    The filler plug for the manual box is located on the pasenger side (from memory) on the gearbox iteself so you'll need an oil pump of sorts.
     
    If you pour oil down the dipstick for a non auto you'll put gearbox oil in the engine.
     
    If you do have an auto you can put oil down the dipstick but it will take hours!
     
    Cheers,

    I usually cheat and fill it on the bench before putting it back into the car. Just take the plate off the top and pour it in up to the fill plug. Shizen loads easier than trying to use those stupid tom thumb pumps from underneath.
     
    If you have already got the box in the car you havent got much choice

    Make it go FASTER!
