Yes, it will be fine. The main oil is below the filter anyway sat in the sump.You will lose a very small amount, just check the level afterwards as when you start the engine with the new filter on, it will fill up and drop the sump level slightly.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

The gearbox drain plug is at the rear of the diff housing. You can undo this by using an 8mm square tool or a 21mm socket (which I prefer). ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

How about putting the new oil in without putting the drain plug back in  , or putting new gearbox oil in with no driveshafts in,  , I may have done one or both of those things  ________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6™ |

It is close to the subframe but it doesn't foul access...  Anyway, well done for getting it done.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
