T-5 fluid fill

Is it possible to fill the ATF where the shifter bolts up to on my 92rs T-5. I put synthetic in last july, but had to drain it when i removed the tranny to replace the clutch, and it was a PITA to use the filler/fluid level inspection hole, bc i had to use a suction gun and ended up spilling fluid all over me trying to wiggle around under the car.
thanks for the help/info/suggestions

sweet, this will save me a lot of time and a ruined shirt and shorts.
car should be up and running soon, I should have just fixed it right away, would have saved the money on rebuilding the toyota tranny, but i did it at the recommendation of family since winter was coming, and they said the maro would be dangerous and unreliable. bs, the thing has been one of the most reliable cars ive owned.
thanks for the help

ps, should i go with an aftermarket shifter since its out, and if so, what kind is reliable, and wont destroy my synchro like the one i put on my old civic.
if i get a used alum. driveshaft, do i need to get a new tailshaft seal, the old one didn't leak. thanks
