One of the quirks of the second generation (1993-1996) Ford Escort w/manual transmission is that they don't have an oil fill port... or at least one that is sensible to use. As such, I decided to "invent" a way to fill the oil in my 1995 Escort wagon from the drain plug. So, stay tuned for a transmission oil change going in only from the back door...
...yes, it felt dirty.
