Trans Fluid Fill Bolt stuck
I'm trying to change my tranny fluid, but I'm having trouble getting the tranny fluid fill bolt loose. I've tried hitting the ratchet handle with a rubber mallet, but it still won't budge. The only cheater bar I have is a 1/2 inch, and that does not fit the 3/8" 17mm socket.
Any advice?

It's only supposed to be ~30 ft-lb; I'm not sure what to tell you. I usually hit the ratchet with my hand to break it loose, no sweat.

Boy! Do I feel stupid. I was trying to open the wrong bolt. It was far more than 33 ft lbs, and much longer than I recalled. Yet is also had red paint on it. I put it back in and corrected myself. The fill bolt came off with no trouble. I wonder which bolt I took out first?

Did it look like the big threaded hex-plug in the middle of this photo? My guess is the plug has something to do with access &/or assembly of the transmission. As long as it didn't come off, you are prolly okay.

I think it might have been a lower transmission mounting bolt. It is fairly long and looks like the bolts on page 13-10 of the 2000 - 2004 Service Manual. Yet there is no torque value that I see for those bolts.
