I've done this before and as a temporary but tedious alternative i filled it via the breather. It took longer obviously but i just hung the bottle upside town with a pipe going into the breather and left it. Did the recommended oil amount. Can't remember exactly how much it is. But it's a way around it until you can get that bung out

Nope, definitely can't fill through the gear stick, it's a remote linkage.

On the 8th Day God made the LandRover -
On the 9th day he swapped it for a Jimny.

What a life saver, on post 2005 Jimmy's the breather is easily accessible from the bay and with a massive suction syring an length of pipe managed to refill the box easily.
Wish I saw this earlier, struggled for 2 hours trying to remove a damd rounded filler plug...
Thanks.
