I think the general consensus was to leave the darn thing alone and refill
through the
top cover. Another good answer was to weld or braise a "wing" or "T" to the
plug, to get
more leverage. I would imagine that the heat helps loosen it a bit, too....
The older Tr3 & TR2 had a cool dipstick on the top of the tranny...I guess
these folks
fill through that.....
No sense poundin' dirt over it... ;>)
