Question is how do you drain such a transmission ? They still have the software to generate the 'fluid is worn' ie flash both transmission indicators in the display panel. I'm not aware of another suitable location to drain it, aside from pulling a driveshaft out (which is better than nothing) albeit a lot of trouble for partial fluid change.
I do note later MA (I think its MA) manual box's as fitted to the little TU engines now lack a level plug, so you have to measure the quantity to refill. I also seem to think the very early BE box's (4 speeds maybe? around 84/85) did not have a level plug so they have 'reverted' for want of a better phrase to that.
Thoughts / corrections are welcome and appreciated.
