t-5 help

Where is the fill plug on my t-5 trans? Is it on the passanger side above the drain plug, or is it on the drivers side. Help

Yeah, it is easier to pour it in the top where the shifter mounts, but he'll still have to pull the fill plug on the passenger's side (the upper one, the lower one is the drain plug) so he can fill it to the right level.

I don't remember exactly what it is for, but DON'T remove it. I think it holds something in place in the trans. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
