I'm in the process of changing my tranny fluid and diff fluids. Where did you get the fluid pump?
What fluid did you use for the Tranny?

![]() There are plastic shields that are there to protect everything from debris. If you go to the madrussian DIY link I posted in the original post he has pictures of the shields that you must remove including where all of the screws are. It's very easy to remove the shields though so it shouldn't slow you down at all.

6 point sockets are always a safer bet on something that is often really tight. The 12 point does halve the angle of entry, but it more than halves the bolt to socket contact area.
On a bolt this size, it wouldn't normally round the corners, but for whatever reason, regardless of manufacturer, I've seen these plugs EXTREMELY tight. In this case a 6 point is safer. ADS
