I think I can reach the fill plug from the top because there's no cover on the transmission tunnel but if that doesn't work I might try your way. Although that might not work either since there's a tube going across right by the shifter.

Last weekend I finished getting the engine and transmission bolted down. I had to make a plate to offset the transmission mount so it would bolt to the crossmember. I have no idea why they didn't make the crossmember so it worked with this combo since it's one of the most common set ups.

Started my new job Monday so it's been nothing but onboarding and training all week. I got time this morning to bring the driveshaft and new yoke to the driveline shop. Should have a driveshaft next week.

Pulled the shifter out of the kit box and it's not the right style. This is for like a T-5 where the shifter is set back and the handle leans fwd. I might be able to redrill this and shorten it. The knob is a cheap plastic thing that I won't use. Also next on the list is getting the gas pedal in. It takes some modification to fit.
