Dave,
Don?t have that problem With a TR3, lots of access holes in the tranny cover.
I would suggest buying a TR3 floor plug and drill a hole to fit.

Hi All,
I hope you have had a great 2018 driving season so far. I was lucky enough to
travel from Cincinnati, Ohio to the 2018 Kas Kastner race in Beaver, Pa. myself
which all totaled was about a 700 mile round trip. I had a great time and the
car was problem free.
My question to the group is what types of tools to you use to top off your
transmission. Especially on the road? They all leak a bit and mine is no
different. What I am kind of concerned about is traveling on longer trips and
doing normal maintenance like checking the fluid level in the transmission. I
don?t have a access opening in my transmission tunnel right now but I plan to
address that issue and that kind of gets me to my second question. But first,
at the moment, to add transmission oil, I have to lift the entire car up on
jack stands, wait for the oil to center itself, then unscrew the fill plug with
a open end wrench. Not a solution for on the road? So, I was thinking about
cutting a hole big enough for a socket (6-point) or whatever will work on a ??
pipe plug, then use a 1 qt. oil can with a pump to top off the transmission. I
can fabricate a metal cover to plug the hole.
What have you guys done?
Thanks,
Dave Connitt
