Thank you all for your informative responses to my question about the transmission in the '80 V6anagon-- I now know where the filler plug is!!! Sounds like it's higher up than the plug on my '71 bus's tranny. In the '71, you filled it with gear oil until it started to overflow from the hole, and in this way you knew you had put in the right amount (if the bus was sitting on level ground, of course). How much do you fill the '80 Vanagon's 4-sp tranny? Keep putting it in until it overflows the filler hole, as on the '71? Even though the filler hole is higher (if that's what it is) than the '71's filler hole? Thanks in advance, Steve Maher smaher@gi.com '80 V6anagon
