Changed out the tranny fluid on my '80 targa for the first time this weekend. Could not get the drain plug out at all. Had to resort to using the access plate to drain out most of the fluid for now. I checked the fill plug first and could not get it to budge with the 17mm allen wrench. The wrench just rounded out the inside of the plug. Had to resort to a big vise grips and tapping with a hammer to know it loose. Roughed up the plug of course, but I got it out. Upon removing the access plate, I discovered why my shifter has been so loose. The fork attached to the plate was loose and had a couple grooves worn in it! Filed down the grooves for now and put some loctite on the threads. Will replace the fork next time I change the fluid. Made the shifter a lot tighter now that the fork is tightened. It was getting to the point that I could barely get it into gear. Is there a different type of plug that I can get, maybe one with a hex head on it?
