Automatic Transmsission Drain Plug is really tight
I've been trying for a day and a half now, with the 3/8 ratchet, to take out but it is not giving at all. Did anybody have that trouble? Also its not a reverse thread is it? Does anyone have any tips? Forgive me, I am a noob by all means. Thanks.

O RLY? Reckon you'd better re-think that one. Jesus...
And how the hell do you whack something slowly?
OP, what have you been using to try and undo it? Try a 1/2" drive socket on a 12 or 18in breaker bar - but if the plug is only 6 sided, use a 6 sided socket on it rather than bi-hex (12 sided) as you'll have less chance of slipping and skinning your knuckles or rounding off the bung.

The drain plug accepts a 3/8" ratchet. There isn't a socket you can put on the drain plug.
Put a pipe on the end of the ratchet. It'll crack off eventually.

Fair enough bud, i've never seen one to be honest. If you're still struggling in that case, just use a 3/8" breaker bar then.
