T5 oil change

[white91gt]

I will be changing the fluid in my tranny in the near future (using synthetic) and I will also be upgrading the shifter (Tri-ax).

I am wondering if when the shifter mechanism is off the top of the T5, is it possible to refill the transmission with fluid from this location ?

I have changed the fluid in the past using the fill hole, on the side, and it was a major pain.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
