Default CHANGING MANUAL TRANSMISSION FLUID....COUPLE QUESTIONS

So I finally decided to head up to Summit yesterday and buy some Royal Purple Synchromax. I am going to change the fluid, but I got a couple questions. First of all, How hard is it to fill the transmission back up? Is the fill plug hard to get to? And second of all, I have the classic 3650 1-2 grind, and I cant remember the fluid amount the Tremec said to refill it to for the recall (3.1 0r 3.2 quarts) Can anyone gimmie some help with this? Thanks...

I fill mine through the shifter rather than the fill plug, its less messy that way. And I dont see how a .10 of a quart is going to make any difference what so ever.

I may try it through the shifter. And the factory rating is 3.8 quarts, but I wasnt sure if Tremec said to fill it to 3.1 0r 3.2 quarts to help with the problem...thanks for the help tho...

The plug wasnt hard to get to on mine.. I just ran a tube down beside the shifter and into the fill plug then took a funel and filled it up until it started coming out of the tranny like it said.. working wonders
