I am preparing to change the gearbox oil in my 2011 3 litre S2 Roadster and wonder if anybody has done this task themselves. The reason for asking is that when I opened up the inspection hatch in the drivers footwell there was no gearbox filling point. Looking down the passenger footwell there were two inpection hatches so I drilled out the rivets and opened the most promising looking one. There appears to be a filling point about 50mm infront of the inspection hatch. It is going to be a real pain to firstly unscrew the filler plug (which appears to be a big oversize allen key job) then fill the gearbox with oil down a funnel and tube.
Anybody done this job themselves and can you confirm that the filler is indeed the one in the passenger footwell. I am told I have a Ford gearbox in the S2.
Any helpful tips from those that might have done this task would be helpful. If the task defeats me due to a lack of powered ramps I need to explain the task to my friendly local garage
