[TR] TR3 with a TR3A transmission tunnel

[tfansher at comcast.net]

I cut an access hole the size of the access hole for the jack in the floor pans and the U-joint access in the tranny tunnel just above the dipstick. It's easy access and the plug from the others fits nicely and works well. A fun rainy day project.

Subject: [TR] TR3 with a TR3A transmission tunnel 

I decided it was time to check the gear oil in my transmission and 
discovered that I installed a 
TR3A transmission tunnel (without the dipstick access hole) on my 56 
TR3. I knew about the dipstick, but didn't think to check for an access 
hole when I picked the best tunnel to cleanup and paint. Is there any 
tricky way of checking/adding gear oil to the early transmissions 
without access to the dipstick? If not, I guess adding a hole for the 
dipstick will make a good project for one of these wet rainy Saturdays. 

Thanks,
