Subject:      manual tranny fluid change tools question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi,

so I went to do my tranny fluid change, and I couldn't find the fill, or drain plugs. I thought that it would be as simple as unscrewing the drain for the oil, but I couldn't find them. I examined the whole tranny from underneath. All the sides, bottom. The only thing that came close was on the front side of the tranny towards the engine had what looked like a hookup thing, like for a hose (had threads), and on either side of that there were 2 nuts. I decided to call my mechanic to ask him what was up with that, and he said that I need a special wrench that unscrews the inside of the hookup looking thingy. That somewhere on the side theres another hookup looking thing that you will fill with but you need a hose that will fit in the hole once the wrench opens it.

ok so does anyone know what this tool is called, and about how much it might cost. Also if any of this info is incorrect let me know.

thanx bunches,

Tracy
