The plug I believe is for the timing adjustment. Is there an internal hex of
about 1"? if so then you will be able to see the fly wheel through the top
of the hole and it will be to the left.

As for the gears, can you get into 5th? When you try for 1st gear lean it
over towards the rev position. You can feel the "gate" space between 1st &
5th. Try putting it into gear half way between 5th & 1st. If it will go in,
then just the linkages need adjusting.

As for the money? I spent $1400.00 at a garage for a crappy muffler system,
incorrect springs and other work. I fought with them for months. Nowa days I
just sacrifice a fresh set of acryllic nails, and learn to swear better.
(under my breath of course!)

Ok I got my rocco back after $672 in repairs to the clutch, and the plug on
top of the tranny was left open and it seems like some hypoid splashed out.
I'm assuming that plug is for gear oil, except I can't even find mention of
it in the bentley. Its a green plastic plug on top of the tranny right to
the right of the engine. It was open and it seems like the tranny is making
noise in neutral, AND I cant get it into first at all...when I brought the
car home I only had to get it into first once, and I did, but it was
difficult. I can get it into all of the other ears easily (at least while
the car is sitting there). Is that plug for gear oil, and I cant get it into
first because the oil level is low? The bentley says there's 17mm Hex plugs
for the gear oil, and they seem to be accessed from underneath the tranny,
as seen in the picture. This plug is plastic and can be popped open by hand.
I don't understand. Anyways, whats the deal here? I can't even drive
anywhere really without first gear.

Thanks!
