well my last tranny blew up on me, so i decided to put a new one in. me being in a big hurry caused me to overlook the idea of loosening the tranny fill bolt before putting it in. now it is stuck and i cant get it off no matter what i do and the bolt is mostly stripped and fucked. what the hell can i do now? pull the motor, and drill the bolt out??? please help me

 

Dremel to the rescue!!!

There should be enough room for you to get a dremel with a cutting disk in there with the car on the ground. If not, get the car in the air and get it from underneath.

With the dremel first try cutting a nice deep/wide slot in it. Then find a meaty flathead screwdriver on a socket, get some extentions, and get the biggest ******* breaker bar you got!

 

the bracket that the LCA bolts to is right infront of the bolt though, i cant even get a socket and ratchet in there let alone a screwdriver

 

Undo all the mounts on the tranny side and lower the tranny using a jack. That might give you some more room.

Or just take the pass. side driveshaft out and fill the tranny through the driveshaft hole. And fix it the next time you decide to pull the tranny.

 

did you use a 17mm combo wrench or a monkey wrench. i drained my tranny fluid once and could not get that bolt off(i was using a monkey wrench) so my car sat with no tranny fluid and i was stuck. i bought a 17mm combo wrench and went to work. first it wouldnt fit because the bolt was a little deformed (stripped it with the monkey wrench) so i hammered. i know theres not much space for a hammer under there but a few light taps and strategic wiggles and the 17mm was on. then it was only a matter of pulling until i almost got a hurnia. also if it is stripped to hell. go to sears and ask em for "bolt out" i think its by craftsman. this little kit will get any bolt in the world out.
