OK, I am puzzled here ...

My 2000 6-speed does not have a low centered drain plug as others here seem to have.

Rather, mine has what appears to be drain plug with an Allen head on the side of the trans casing (circled in blue). But it looks to be a bit too high to me to serve well as a proper drain plug, as there would seem to be a lot of oil left behind once drained.

Further, what I assume to be the fill plug (circled in yellow) has a conventional bolt hex head, and is mounted way up there. If I were to fill the tranny up with oil to this level, it seems (based upon past experience) that it could be way too much oil.

What obvious (to others!) point am I missing here?

Thanks - DM
