[DML] Re: Manual Transmission fluid change

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Even if you find an alternate way to get the fresh oil into the trans
you MUST remove the side plug so you know the level. You could wind up
underfilling or overfilling. Without removing that side plug you can
never know. This is important because not only is this level for the
trans it is also for the final drive. Get the proper adapter and a
breaker bar, and gorrilla it off. I do not suggest heat, since there
is oil inside you could set it on fire. Another drastic way would be
to try to turn it with a hammer and chisel or drill it out. It should
come loose with the proper tools.
