Jack -
Yes, just open the tunnel cover hole and pull the dipstick out. That's how
you fill up the Gearbox. If the dipstick is stuck in there, you usually can
get a big flathead screwdriver in through the dipstick handle and it'll pop
right out with just a little leverage.
By the way, looked at some of your pictures and I liked the comment about
the "American way to fill a hole" on the fender sheet metal. You have no
idea how true that is. I am pretty sure my body man found spare newspapers
shoved in a hole in the shroud when he painted my car 15 years ago.
Best Regards,
Alan
