    That all depends on the size of the skid plate. If you can get a wrench on the plug in the side of the tranny then I think not. To fill, I use a clear plastic tube that fits tight over the nozzle on the gear oil bottle and I can squeeze the lube into the plug hole to top off the trans.

    Priming your gas siphon is one thing the Mity Vac is really good at.

    Yeah, I just siphoned mine, then dumped what little was left once the tank was out.
