tranny bolt help!!!

[E30_(1st Musk)_]

no you guys i asked him to, it was more of a favor than a job...

i didnt have money to pay him for work like that and couldnt drive around without oil in the tranny for the next month
( between paychecks and have a new job so it takes a month to receive first check)

just so no one thinks bad. I ASKED TO DO IT THIS WAY. HE OFFERED TO ACTUALLY REMOVE THE PLUG

I refused and he just respected my request.

all in all, the oils in there and i am going back when i have money for him to remove it

Did you try hammering on a smaller socket?

You could try using an easy out.

its the complete opposite. this is whats needed


it was tried at with a chisel and it was just to weak so it was just falling apart with each smack instead of turning.

Oh it's an allen head?

Try banging in a bigger allen wrench!

problem is i think the previouse owner did that once he noticed it wasnt going to work.

so now instead of looking like an allen pattern its almost a circle. Nothing for the head to grab on to

What about an easy out?

i dont think there would be enough room to hammer or turn it in between the transmission and chassis
