Tbruz once my car is running again I'll be there Forsure. I say let's hit that meet and start from there to see if we want to find a different location or stay w/them

I might be down to come see what's up, I'm usually just bored in Vacaville anyways

This is what I'm looking at. The big 17mm bolt is what I'm assuming is the fill plug. There's also an identical one on the bottom of the tranny, which should be the drain plug.

I need to fix all my seals in my tranny too i think 😖 not good

Mine doesn't even leak! (at least not enough to see anything over the past couple thousand miles). All I need to do is get those two fucking bolts off but it's not cooperating.

I use a ratchet + pipe. Use a floor jack to do the hard work.

I need/want to pull the rest of my motor. Lol

[Vivek]

This is fucking insane. The jack couldn't even do it. It just fucked up the bolt.

V get the fluid pump and do it at my house on Sat.

[kronus]

why the hell are you using the open end of a box wrench on it, then?

Grab a 17mm 6-sided socket if you want to avoid rounding it off.

I'm gone this weekend or I would. Maybe I'll just leave this for later. I'll try a 6 sided socket and a jack next, and if that still can't do it then I'm done.

Let me know if you need some help man. I've got nothing going on with my car right now.

^This.

Holy crap. Use a ratchet and a socket like I said above.

I see the loctite now. You will need to loosen it with some heat if the ratchet + floor jack doesn't work.

I'm using a ratchet and socket now. I'm taking a break for a bit...the ratchet and floor jack moved the entire car. I can't believe how tight this is.

Torch it to release the threadlocker.

You'll need an impact then.
