OK I had procrastinated replacing my leaking transmission shifter seal. So now I need to check/add some fluid and my repeated attempts to loosen the fill plug has not worked despite applying WD-40 several times between my attempts every few days. Tonight I drove her up on ramps to get enough room to use a breaker bar and wouldn't you know it the plug is sheering on the sides GUYS THIS PLUG AIN'T BUDGING Oddly the plug is a low profile design (unlike the oil drain plug) thus the socket isn't getting enough "bite" to break it loose. I suspect its Tap and Die time but the drive shaft is awkwardly in the way, of course. Any other suggestions??
