Yupper, I got me a bigass17mmhex wrench. Changed the tranny oil and was amazed at how much easier it shifted.
The old oil was brownish & translucent instead of clear brown.
Sure glad I read the post about making sure you can get the fill plug out before draining it! Bet there was at least 150#'s of torque put on that dude before it let loose (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Question for those "in the know" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
Where else (on the 914) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) can this BAT be used?

No where.

You can also use a head of a bolt. Take a bolt and put double nuts on it tightened against each other. Stick the head of the bolt in the drain plug, put a open end wrench on the nut in the middle and back it out.

I tried the double-nut trick on my VW tranny years ago. Didn't work cuz the plug was tapered and damn hard to turn. Don't remember about the 901 box's plug.

Got mine at a FLAPS that specialized in forgien car stuff. If you ask for a VW drain plug wrench it's $6.00. I suppose if you said it's for a "porsh" it's $12.00. If you say it's for a "porsh-a" it's $20.00

You know, that tool is like money in the bank! You'll always be able to sell that club to a scrap metal yard and get ALL your money back.

The only thing that would get me to relinquish mine is if someone wanted to trade me a Henway...

That's a cool one... I have a 17mm allen wrench, but it's nowhere near that long. I have to use a cheater on it.

But when putting the plugs back in, I generally use a small amount of antiseize (like plugs, lugnuts, exhaust nuts). Not gobs, just a smidge. I've never had one back out on me.

Umm...translusent and clear are the same thing... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)
oil was brown & "Opaque" maybe...

Anyway, had to be better than the last tranny oil I drained. Looked like gold paint...powdered syncros maybe!
