Can someone give me some tips on how to fill the trans with oil? Can I 
do it from underneath with the front up on ramps? It seems you need to 
put the oil in a bottle with a hose to be able to get it in the filler 
hole.
Reason I ask is I think a trans seal has failed and there are some 
terrible noises coming from the trans when in gear. shearing sounds, 
knocking, sounds like something is loose in there. garage floor has oil 
drippings from front trans area, looks like someone poured silver paint 
in the oil, i'm gonna assume it is pulverized metal from the gears. new 
front and rear main seals and front trans cover seals were installed 
when clutch was last serviced about 8 months ago.
