No such issues Phil, the filler plug is on the side of the box, well clear of the gears. It's also angled downwards about 45 degrees, so your finger could reach down further to check the level. All very considerate of Ford, unlike the dizzy!

Interesting to compare the two gearboxes, I've never looked inside a Chev box. The Ford one seen here is in 3rd gear. Reverse idler and selector fork can be seen top left. It's on a half length shaft, unlike the full length Chev one. As you can see Phil I couldn't quite match your maintenance standards!
