Tranny fill plug ?
Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this out? A couple of years ago the guy that I had change the clutch thought he would check the fluid level F---d it up, I was shocked because I had it out just a few months before and I didn't tighten it as tight as it was when I got it out. I know I can fill it through the shifter but I would like to get it out.

Thanks for all the comments. I think the best one is to weld onto it with the tig, but thats not an option for me as I don't have one or know how to use it.
Hussler i've thought of grinding a slot in it and may try that. If that doesn't work i'll go to the chissel and hammer. I do have access to an acetylene torch, would it be helpful to heat the aluminum around the plug or both or just the plug?l I would have answered this thread sooner but been out of town where I have no internet available .

I wouldn't waste your time with the grinder and just get the chisel and hammer out. A sharp chisel will make its own slot and even with the slot in there I doubt you will be able to spin it out with a screwdriver. Plus the impact of the hammer and chisel will help jar it loose...
