Transmission fill Question

Post by Emersonfiat1977 »

Just bought this a month ago.

Thank you all for the wealth of knowledge here.

I have put in about 100 hours of work on the car trying to make it road worthy.

I have read the other post an wanted to make sure before i did anything.

Trying to locate the gearbox fill plug.

Is it the allen right above the exhaust?

Just didnt seem very high from the drain plug.

I took picks but dont know how to post

Should be a 17mm hex. Below the allen plug. Don't mess with the allen plug. see the attached post. http://www.hwww.fiatspider.com/f15/view ... ug#p265413

There's a tiny square bolt on the very back of the transmission, too.

Pretty sure you don't have to worry about the plug at the rear of the tranny.
Oil gets back there on it's own.

Just when draining. There is a baffle that traps oil back there.
