I just got back from searching for a T70. I've looked everywhere I can, and no one has it in my area. I don't want to order one, so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what else I could use to get the bolt out. I was thinking maybe an allen wrench of some sort.

Use the right tool or aside from messing it up, you'll have to buy a new drain plug. Square peg = square hole, round peg = round hole. Ghetto superstar mechanics = your car on jackstands in your garage and you riding to work with that mouth-breather Todd who works in accounting. :)

You have to Google it, I got mine from some random tool house somewhere. I tried getting the plug out with some big channel locks, but I almost broke the channel locks squeezing them so hard, with the only visible change to the bolt being a bunch of scratches on the outside. :) DO NOT STICK A BIG ALLEN WRENCH IN THERE!!! You will hose the entire plug, its really in there tight from the factory. Like ridiculous style tight. Just get the T70 and a breaker bar and away you go. :)

I had a feeling that might be the case. Dang. Oh well, thanks for the help guys.

Good luck! At least that bit will prevent Jiffy Lube idiots from draining and filling someones trans with some nice Pennzoil 5-30 motor oil :)

Oh, don't be on it. Make something idiot-proof, someone will find a "better" idiot.....oh, and they wouldn't drain AND fill the trans, they'd just drain the trans and give ya an extra 5qt in the engine.......

Nice kill Scotty! :)

I've used T60 and popped it off
and no, it's not damage, it's a little loose, not to where u can strip it, just slightly loose
i've done it to my car about 5 times and still good

Ya, I found the same T70 from the same vendor on amazon.com. Both are the same price, so it doesn't matter. Thanks for the help guys.
