Lets veryify its the tranny drain plug first- some TIV engines had allen headed drain plugs... They are 6mm

If it is the tranny plug ALWAYS remove the plug on the side first before draining the oil.... This is because you may have a seized fill plug that will keep you from ever filling the tranny in the future. Removing the fill plug first ensures you won't be getting a nasty suprise later when its time to fill R' up..


You can sometimes clamp a 17mm headed bolt in a pair of vise grips to remove it if you don't want to buy the tool..... I welded a bolt into a socket years ago and made my own apex for the job and never did buy the tool!
