I have my transmission apart on the bench and I can't get the drain plug out? I'm not sure if I should use heat or not; out of fear of melting the case? What do you guys think? A little heat with the propane or get glowing with the oxy?
Thanks' Jon |

On my first trans oil change I had to use my socket breaker bar. It's at least 2 feet long. There was well over 100 ftlbs on the drain plug. I bet the last guy used a impact gun to put it in. I think the spec is 15 ftlbs.
