hey I just bought some Redline fluid for my transmission. 89 S13 fastback. 5speed First i removed the shifter to fill the fluid
(I always make sure I can fill things up before I can empty them out)
Anyways when I went under the car to open the drain bolt it would not move. Is there any other way to drain the tranny or another way to get the bolt off besides the usual 1/2" driver. Thanks,

 

Use the longest 1/2 drive you got, if it's still too hard use a pipe on the handle, last resort you can try and kick the handle ( I had to do this on the re-fill level plug).

 

the refil plug is a joke..
leave it alone.
just get to your shifter plate.
remove circlip with needle nose plyers and pull shifter rod right out.
fill from there


thanks Josh

 

Yeah that plug was a pain in the ***, but I was to lazy to look up how much fluid the tranny took...

 

I have no problem filling it my problem is draining the old fluid first. I can't get the drain plug out.
