Transmission fluid change

I am changing the transmission fluid and filter. I am not sure where the filler plug is on the transmission. Can some wounderful Porsche owner please send me a picture of the filler plug so I don't waste any more time.

I have a 2002 Boxster with Tiptronic transmission.

Thank you for any help

I don't have a photo of its location but it is on top of the case. I use a dedicated tank sprayer( one for insecticides and such) , and have put on a J shaped piece of copper tubing in place of the spray head. This allows me to get it into the fill hole. There are numerous DIY write-ups on this. I have a 98 Tip with about the same mileage and have done it twice already. PITA but I think necessary. Ed

Be sure you do it correctly or you're out for a new transmission. :dance:

Guys, this has been covered before; the Tip has two plugs on the bottom of the pan, one is a drain, the other is a fill plug.............yes, you read that correctly.............
