No the whole car is up on jack stands. I managed to get the plate unstuck. I used an old brake shoe tool that resembles a small crow bar and it did the trick. I'm going to drill those two holes out slightly larger so it shouldn't be such a PITA next time. It was a piece of cake except for that and the fluid is draining as we speak. The stuff is a dark amber color like semi-used motor oil. Not as dark as the other guys though. Porsche must use a pretty dark amber gear lube like you mentioned. RL is going in to take it's place. Hopefully it will solve the shifting issues I'm having.
