[Shotimes] filling MTX

[Mike Wojton]

Thanks all. I thought that was right. It's actually at the shop now because
I couldn't get the fill plug out, but already drained the old fluid. Pretty
unsmart on my part I think. I couldn't budge the dang thing. In fact I
buggered up the plug a little bit trying so I hope they can get it out. They
said if they can't sometimes you can fill them through the speedometer cable
hole. Only trouble is you can't tell where the level is then. Does that
sound doable on our MTX? I've never paid attention to where the speedo cable
goes in.
 This is why I hate working on my car. Nothing ever goes right. : (
