I guess the 12mm bolt I removed (5-6" to the right of the fill hole) was...... I don't know.
I was only looking at thumbnail images in the "how to" I was looking at on my iPhone, and I thought the arrow was pointing to the 12mm bolt. After a long, undisclosed, time trying to figure out why I couldn't get the gear oil in, and trying all sorts of idiotic remedies, I decided to submit for help on this forum.

Well I typed a three or four paragraph post, again on the iPhone, and just my luck: I accidentally push "select all" and then the delete button. The iPhone keypad has no crtl-z feature to save people like me from themselves. Anyway, obvously I'm incredibly frustrated at this point so I go inside to use a real computer. While I'm at that forum post again I decide to take another look at the "how to" and in the process discover the full resolusion images with the arrow pointing to the 24mm bolt.

At that point I figure, "nice Michael. Well at least I can get this finished up in a few minutes". That plan might suceeded had I not chopped the bottom off of my gear lube bottle to make a funnel. I could have just gotten under the car and filled it with the bottle. The hose I was using was pretty small so I couldn't get any decent flow through it - even when I pressurized it. I chopped the bottle into a funnel because I figured there was no place for the displaced air in the tranny to escape, remeber I'm working with the 12mm plug at this point. Well I gave up. I'm going to buy a new bottle of gear dope today to finish today a job that I wasted 3 hours plus on yesterday in ten minutes. To close this idiotic story I'd like to submit that I have four herniated disc is my lower lumbar, and that today I am hardly capable of moving around. Such is life.
