You think it's hard and it is a bit tricky but I assure you that adding a mechanical reverse lever on the outside of the clutch assembly reduces available hand space by a half. It's a bigger nightmare. Bought an aftermarket cap but ended up putting the stock one back on.

The new plastic dipsticks feel like one slightly off attempt and it’ll cross thread.

Long story short......it took me the better half of 20 minutes to get the tranny fluid cap back on!!!
No matter how I angled it just wouldnt align itself properly!!!
Finally got it in about my 50th attemp.
I know......that should be the worse thing that ever happens to me in life.
Just found it frustratingly amusing how the simplest thing could become so difficult.
I'm sure many if you have similar stories.
Boomers are funny

Anyone familiar with this one?
I've read some aftermarket plugs don't screw in properly.
Kinda like the OEM one!!
