NV 5600 Filler Port location

[justme]

I am getting ready to change the oil in my transmission. Like a good boy, I sat down and read the Chrysler service manual before I did any else. I found the filler ports for the NV 3500, NV 4500 and the various slush boxes. Nevertheless, I could not find a reference or diagram for the NV 5600 (DEE) filler port.

For those of you that have changed the fluid in their NV 5600 transmissions where is the filler port? And since I am obviously handicapped in the reading and understanding arena, a picture of the filler cap in relationship to the transmission drain port would go a long way to refilling my transmission in a timely manner.

The filler plug is located on the driver's side of the transmission. You'll need a large hex driver to get it out, I think the size is 17mm.

Evan,

That is correct. It is a 17 mm Hex. I had to buy a big a$$ allen wrench.
