Afternoon all, 2004 Jimny with a G13B engine, some numpty has destroyed the gearbox 10mm square fill plug, no way it's coming out with the box still in the car, before I do this is there another way of filling it ? 

Also I fitted some Elring plug tube seals, they were the only ones I could find, the quality of them was terrible so I didn't expect them to last long, and they didn't, can anyone suggest where I can get some decent ones from please ?

Thanks in advance !

Martin Lines who run this site and bigjimny shop will be able to supply the plug seals ask him for a price 

Gearbox filler people have cut an hole in the transmission tunnel so you can access the filler plug from the inside 
Then made a plate to blank off the hole

I'm not sure you can fill the box another way

Thanks, by the time I've messed about with all that's needed to neatly cut a hole in the transmission tunnel, I could have the gearbox on the floor !

I see Martin is away, I'll chase him up on his return.
