The fill plug isn't any easier to get at from the top because it's obstruct=
ed by a gusset on the side of the gearbox. I hate to say it, but have you t=
ried vice-grips?=20
Oil capacity is about 2.5 pints for a non-OD box and about 3 pints with OD =
so it does sound like your level was quite low.=20

This is a copy of my message on the triumphs list.We've all heard the phras=
e, "well, I've got good news and I've got bad news", right. ?A few weeks ag=
osome one mentioned that maybe the reason my TR 6 wouldn't go into any gear=
while running mightbe because of low oil within the transmission. ?So, he =
good news is that I was so far under my carthat nobody could see a 67 year =
old man crying. ?The bad news is first that the nut on the side ofthe trans=
mission case had been mis handled so many times that it was nicked and bung=
led up that no size socketcould get a grip on it. ?This caused my creative =
mind to churn and churn,,,,,and churn. ?I decidedthat the rubber-like taper=
ed re-stoppers I use to recork my wine bottles, if I drilled a hole into an=
d through one,bought a hand squeeze siphon from PepBoys, ran the hose from =
that into the stopper and the other endinto a bottle of oil and squeeze and=
squeeze until I thought the oil level were correct. ?Of course this would =

the driveway. ?Maybe 1/2 to 3/4 cupbefore it turned into a drip. ?Now, how =
much oil to get it back to the proper level? ?Question #2, do you think?tha=
