Hi,
Is there a trick to cracking the fill plug open? I have an 8mm on the end of a 3/8 breaker and that plug will not move, tranny was warmed up after highway drive.
There is not a lot of room to work with the exhaust right there.
Any ideas?
Heat?
I got the drain plug to move, so i am not a total idiot. I can fill through the hoses, but....
thanks for any pointers.

Long overdue update with some notes.
The bolts are T27, a T25 can strip them, then you have to drill them out.
With the car on the ground and running, I filled the sump until there was a trickle coming out, then jacked up the passenger side to stop the trickle. Wear gloves, exhaust is hot.
Dont turn the engine off, the trickle will turn into a torrent!
Shifts better with newish fluid and a new filter.
