The Le Mans TR3S and TRS cars did this into the 1960s, long after
it had stopped in production.

The dipstick hole is roughly 1" diameter, so with care you
can pour directly into it. Lots less hassle than carrying a
funnel and trying to keep it clean.<br>
<br>
Of course, my car has the hole to access it, but it wouldn't
be hard to add to a later car. And the usual suspects sell a
big rubber plug to fit it.<br>

All,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span

hope you have had a great 2018 driving season so
far. I was lucky enough to travel from Cincinnati,
Ohio to the 2018 Kas Kastner race in Beaver, Pa.
myself which all totaled was about a 700 mile
round trip. I had a great time and the car was
problem free. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext"> My
question to the group is what types of tools to
you use to top off your transmission. Especially
on the road? They all leak a bit and mine is no
different. What I am kind of concerned about is
traveling on longer trips and doing normal
maintenance like checking the fluid level in the
transmission. I don’t have a access opening in my
transmission tunnel right now but I plan to
address that issue and that kind of gets me to my
second question. But first, at the moment, to add
transmission oil, I have to lift the entire car up
on jack stands, wait for the oil to center itself,
then unscrew the fill plug with a open end wrench.
Not a solution for on the road… So, I was thinking
about cutting a hole big enough for a socket
(6-point) or whatever will work on a ½” pipe plug,
then use a 1 qt. oil can with a pump to top off
the transmission. I can fabricate a metal cover to
plug the hole.</span></p>
