I'm just gonna try flashing it today. Transmission shifts good so I have no worries about the fluids condition. Just hope the flash file is compatible with the car itself

That fill plug is a soft POS. Ain't just your 12pt. My 6pt still rounded that mofo. I said f-it and used what would normally be the dipstick plug: it's on a ledge towards the front right of the transmission. You pull up...there's a more detailed and pictured distribution in the transmission DIY. You can fill from there without issue.
When you round that out, it's easier to replace (read: tap out) the fill plug when you're doing tranny mounts and giubo as the clearance ain't really there.
Anyway, trying to help you along so I see more results :P
