Trans Removal Triple Square Stripped at Position A Now What?

[59coupe]

10mm triple square is stripped at position A. Now What? Anyone know if is threaded in the transmission case? I am certain it is threaded into the engine case, does it pass through the transmission case, stud fashion? Maybe I can just cut it the head off? ANY advice is welcome at this time.

how did you strip a triple square? Most likely you did not have it seated all the way in. this happens because a lot of dirt gets in the hole. if you can get it out clean the hole the put your tool (maybe the tool is worn out) back in and tap on it with a hammer to seat it all the way in then wrench it out.

to answer your question the tran case is not threaded.

If it can be done, I can do it. I ended up cutting it off with a dremel tool.

Another option is to cut a slot in it across the diameter and use a large flatblade screwdriver or bit on a socket to remove,
