Trying to get one off blocks.
How do you check or change the transmission fluid? Thanks |

There are two popular tools available. I use both types:
One is just a big 17mm Allen wrench. Most FLAPS or aftermarket VW parts houses carry these  The other is a 1/2" drive ratchet/breaker bar attachment (Hazet, Proto, Sears, Snap-On, etc.)  As for gear oil, I use Coastal GL-5 80/140W (Autozone) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ... Swepco has the propensity to seep from every seal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
