So yesterday I changed the oil in my car and was going to do a quick drain and fill on the atx. I had a hell of a time getting the plug out and think that it is probably stripped, as I can't get it to go back in and seal. No matter what it is always dripping.
I have performed the drain and fill every 8-10K since I got the car with 30K on it. Last time I had a shop do it since it was below zero in the winter.
At any rate I need to figure something out so I can get back on the road. I ordered a new drain plug, but I have a feeling that may not solve the problem if the threads on the pan are shot.
Any suggestions if the new plug doesn't work out? Would a shop be able to retap the pan?
This trans has been nothing but problems this year!
