The Gear 300 has a very similar filling tube built into their bottles as well.
Those Euros think of EVERYTHING! LOL![[thumb]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumb.gif "Thumbs Up [thumb]")
Is your car still at factory ride height, and were both wheels FULLY on the ground in that drain pan pic?

Bumping for visibility... First, you can fill it from the top with a funnel with a long flexible hose, the built in one is worthless at this point, but that would be the easiest fill and maybe worth a cheapie hose funnel thing...
Update on doing this at 12k with the 2L and now at 18.5k: 99% of gearbox issues are resolved, first just likes a bit of a warm up or will shift a little hard the very first time when cold, but that's it. All gear whine, missed gears and general "crunchiness" are all gone. This could be because of 2 full liters vs. 1.67, because the trans needs to fully break in, the fluid itself, or some combo of the three. But regardless, definitely recommend this after seeing the grey watery crap that drained out. When I saw that I thought "Damn, I wish I did this even sooner..."

I took the factory fill out at 30k miles. I couldn't find any MTF-2 without ridiculous shipping at the time so I went with the MTF-3 75W. I plan on switching it out sometime this spring before Auto-x season starts up. I'll be right around 45k miles at that time.
I kept the factory fluid so I can compare how they look/feel after use.
Haven't decided what fluid I'm going to go with for the new fill.
