Message	After reading mich about the trans fill plug being stuck and hard to remove i'm not surprised mine is too. Front of the car is jacked up. Hard enough to get a 1/2" torque wrench in there with very little clearance much less get a good handle on it. I'm not using any socket just the square end of the 1/2" drive...? Is that correct? Is there a trick to this? I tried a little WD-40 then tried tightening a little first then wacking it with the mallot no luck. I have a trigger blow torch I can use to heat up the fill plug to see if that helps. I hear it is possible to fill from the top through the shifter? Can anyone confirm this is true I was thinking about installing a Z1 short throw shifter any way... _____________________ 2006 Yamaha R1 Anniversary Edition 2006 Scion tC (Sold) 2004 Yamaha YZF-R6 (Sold) 2003 Nissan 350Z Track (Sold) 2000 BMW X5 4.4i 1993 300ZX Twin Turbo 1985 Nissan 300ZX NA (Sold) http://WE350Z.com>v WE350Z at gmail dot com
