The fill plug on the automatic 6 speed zf transmission is right next to the drive shaft, no? Removing the drive shaft gives more room to get to that plug. I assume you were able to work around the drive shaft somehow? I didn't have a hex key shallow enough to remove the plug without dropping the drive shaft.. I'm curious to know how you did it without that step!
