[T3] Diff oil


<x-charset windows-1255>I _finally_ managed to get the fill plug out of my differential today. I've
been trying, on and off, for about 18 months. The winning strategy was to
put all of my extensions together to make one about a yard long so that I
could press down on my big flex handle from outside of the car.

Anyway, as soon as I got it open oil started gushing out.

It smells as if ATF has been leaking into it. Is this possible? And if so,
how do you fix it? I bet it's a big job.

Should I give up driving the car, even short distances, until I get this
fixed? I really don't want a blown final drive. That would probably put the
car on the scrap heap.
