btw,
you might check if the nut at the bottom of the filer tube on the auto trans
part pan .
check that you can get that loosened easily with whatever tool you plan to
use.
I have found them really, really tight sometimes - to the point that a
crescent wrench will just round off the nut, and you sure don't want that.
I have a proper tubing nut wrench ... 22mm on one end 24mm on the other ..
that's the right tool but not a very common tool and not inexpensive
sometimes.
