Title: Auto box sump plug
Post by: mahony on 23 September 2010, 14:03:17

I have just tried to do a autobox oil change and found the filler plug rounded off,are they easier to get off with the sump dropped,maybe i will have to drill it out ? >:(

should be the same as an oil sump plug.

I swapped mine for the later torx with rubber washer style after the boss came detatched from the box to reduce stress

They can be incredibly tight, I dropped my sump first and even then it was a pain!! :(
