[Vwdiesel] What transmission fluid?

I found a 2" long coupling nut at the local hardware store that fit
perfectly into one of my American sockets.  With a file I massaged a bit off
the flats of the hex shape at the other end until It made a perfect fit into
the drain plug.  The size I bought required very, very little removal of
metal. Works like a champeen.

Since then I have recently bought SAE and Metric sets of 3/8" or 1/2" drive
allen wrenches on sale at Princess that I'm sure one will fit this
application.

I Hagar made the same mistake --------------------  way way back.

Took that small      bolt out to drain -----NOTHING  ?----scared the
daylight out of me.

Figgured tranney was trashed ----

Then I made a  what here is called a " Nifty " tool     an old   wheelstud
and a big yankee
hexnut  ----   BINGO    ---- use   1 /2   inch drive socket set.
