Hi Alex. If you have a gas blow lamp ( and no fuel leaks ), try slightly heating the aluminium gearbox area around the filler plug. As aluminium has a greater coeficient of expansion than the steel plug, the plug should loosen when the aluminium is hot. If I recall someone mentioned before about always checking the fill plug on a gearbox is checked for looseness before draining the oil out. Hope you are sucessful. If you need it and it will fit, I can send you a fill plug from a '92 4 speed + O/D gearbox ( just e-mail me with snail mail address)
