Transmission gear oil change made easy.

[Dave80GTSi]

Found a couple of web pictures which seem to show the fill plug. Is the new picture below labeled wrong?

Which begs the next newbie-level question: what purpose is served by the yellow circled bolt in my earlier picture?

I removed it to see what I could see, and it is surprisingly long in length.

Thanks - DM

The upper is the torque screw for the relay rods for the shift forks. The one labeled fill could be but it is too low for the upper gears. I think it is part #20 in the above diagram.

Didn't attach pic.

The relay shaft is "C" in this diagram.

So, not been answered yet?

Is the 101 Projects manual photo definitely wrote?

It's the way I did my oil change and now I'm worrying I might not have the correct level of oil in even though it took just under 3 litres, which I understand is the correct capacity for the transmission.

I have a 2000S with 6 speed and I looked under there last night and where it says "Fill plug" in this picture is where (99% sure since it has been 2 years) I changed my Transmission oil, and in fact I don't even think I have the other plug that is by the inner CV joint, I looked on both sides. My view could have been blocked (car is up on jackstands with wheels off but none of the underbody stuff is off so I was peeking in through the sides)

I might have found some pics to help the 6 speed guys out..these were from an ad on ebay clearly labeled 986 6 speed transmission...again, just need clarification from the experts and i will put something together.

FYI - I am just seeing this discussion and I am the original poster of this picture. The reason I made this was because I own a 6 speed transmission ('02S) and the pictures on the Pelican website / 101 projects book were only for the 5 speed trans. I made the pic to help other people. I stand behind the accuracy of the photo for 6 speed transmission (S models) in the spirit provided. I hope that this clears up the confusion that came from folks grabbing this from google without the benefit of my post on the Pelican site.
