Manual trans fill plug

[Deepseadaddy74!]

I just acquired a 1984 defender 90 and got it home doing the in depth full inspection as per it just came from paint , body and interior shop and noticed the drain plug gone out of the transmission . Fortunately I had a spare but my question is where can you add fluid and does it take atf or gear oil I’ve read both ?

This is the plug that was missing

You are good. That's just a wading plug. You can pick them up and throw it in if you plan to drive thru deep water.

The drain n refill plugs are on the side of the cast iron part of the box. I believe the right side.

I'm no expert when it comes to the radius arms but that bushing looks loose? I'd search that a bit to verify

Before you die driving - fix that trailing arm bushing asap

lets hope that trailing arm is the only thing....
