Ok well, i was going to change the transmission fluid of my 91 tt the other day but found the drain plug stripped by the previous owner. I tried to make the best of the little "meat" left on the plug and used the car's jack to put pressure on the breaker bar connected to the plug but now the whole thing is a circle
I tried using a bolt extractor but it broke and half of it still remains inside of the plug. That plug is really tight in there. I think that some threadlock is taking part in all of this.
So now, i am stuck in my garage have now money to get it towed to a shop and get it fixed there. There is no oil in the tranny so i cant move it and it will leak a lot if any is added (tried that). I have basic tools and not a lot of space to work in. I need to have this car running really soon.
(I dont have a welder)
Any suggestion on how i can get this darn thing out? Its really hard for me to try things under the car. Can the tranny be removed and put back by one person, his muscles and cinder blocks for support? How heavy is that thing anyways?
I am open to any suggestion that will get the job done fast and "cheaply"
