I was going to change tranny oil. I tried to get the fill plug out but.. guess what? I made the plug turned into a round plug and now I can't get it off. I guess I will be taking to the shop with a lift so they can take it out. See, I am such a good weekend mechanic.. but I did change my front brake pads and rotors out today with no problem (Porterfield cyro-treated cross drilled and R4S pad).

no it was the right size nut. I guess that was a little metal pipe next to the fill plug and I might not had the nut/wrench even before pulling it.... I am so dumb..

Matthew,
I now have a shop with lifts and lots of goodies. Stop by and we can look at that plug. I'm across from WalMart on Harrisburg Rd. 9415 A Parkton Road (Behind Harris Body shop and next to Jag Doctor)

steve

when did you get a shop? You are the man. I told you to have a shop so I can bring it there everyday and put my car on lift

I have to get the fill plug first... I messed it up. I hate being under the car with no room to work with. I will even pay you to let me use your lift and I will do the work. Don't charge me too much now.. we are buddies right?

I will probably bring it sometime next week? Maybe wednesday afternoon? it that cool?

Thanks Steve

Matthew
