QUOTE(Harpo @ Aug 9 2014, 02:42 AM)  I have the snap on socket if you want to borrow it I use the same socket with the impact gun and it works fine. Especially if the tranny is on the bench and you can't use leverage because the case is moving around. Jon H. |

Every time I walked by mine I sprayed it with liquid wrench and gave it a try, after 2 days it broke free quite easy and I didn't over torque or break anything. I used the proper socket from snap on and you should to!

Thanks for the advice and offers to lend me the correct socket! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Typical awesome 914 world stuff...
So... The reason I wanted to pull the plug (so to speak ) was to check fluid levels. My trans has been weeping out of the input shaft seal, so I figured it would be good to check. So I get the plug cracked open, moving along nicely.. I get to the point of finger tightness, continue backing it out. I get the plug out and and a 1/2 cup of trans oil spills on my gaddamned shoe! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) It was wayyy too full. Its been this way since I bought the car in 2010 or so. Probably why it has been leaking.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Whatever, At least I'm not low on fluid! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Or fill it while it was laying on its side? |
