[Shotimes] filling MTX

[Ian Fisher]

Mike
Mine is buggered up too. I'm replacing it with a 1/2"
NPT brass pipe plug with a box end on it. I'd use a
hex but there isn't room for one there.

I suppose the tranny could be filled via the speedo
hole. The trans takes 3.1 qts so that's how you'd know
when to stop pouring.

Next time just flip the car upside down and fill from
the drain hole. =)
