    I have a 10 speed meritor transmission in a 2000 Volvo vnm and I can’t seem to find the fill plug or dont know exactly where to check the tranny fluid level. I’ve found the breather and the drain plug but not the other one. I’m wondering if anybody would have any input on that.

    Looking from the back forward, on the left side of the transmission roughly in the middle of the case at about the 4 o’clock position. It didn’t seem as high up on the case as the drain/fill plug on an Eaton transmission. It was a Rockwell 10spd transmission that I took out of a parts truck I bought but I think it should be the same. Your post reminded me, I remember thinking that plug was in a odd spot. Seemed like it would give you a full level quite a bit lower than an Eaton.

    Thank you so much I think I found it now. It looks like it’s a squared nut and might need to use some sort of pipe wrench to take it off.I appreciate the help!

    i really do appreciate it man, I was looking for a differential type nut for the plug this whole time so I felt clueless but I’ll get to it right now.
