[C320-list] Transmission Fluid

[jim brown]

The dipstick for the transmission in on top of the transmission that is attached to the rear of the engine. It is nowhere near the dipstick for the engine oil and on my Yanmar the oil filter is on the port side of the engine while the engine oil dipstick is on the starboard site or the block. Are you looking with the aft engine cover off?

I can see what I think is the spot for the transmission oil, it's directly below the dipstick for the engine oil and very close to the oil filter. Is this the correct spot, it has a square bolt on it? I've got a picture I can email if someone can give me their email to confirm.
