Hey everyone, big goof here! Need a hand

I drained the tranny fluid on my 2003 tl typeS a spec and GUESS WHAT! i cant find the drain plug!

i know im a big goof, thought i could fill through the dip stick rod, but it is way too thin, so i think its for level checking only!

Really feel like crap about this! anyone know where trhe real fill plug is?

 

I couldent get my fill plug loose with the tools I had. So i purchased a funnel with a long clear hose on the end of it from my local auto parts store. It fit right over the dipstick tube and allowed me to fill it with fluid pretty quickly.

 

its a big metal bolt that says "ATF" 17mm i belive, its on there pretty tight. i removed my intake and battery to fit a breaker bar in there an get that sucker off

 

THanks for the quick replies!


I looked around at a diagram in a book, and i found a large blue plug. Undid it and pulled out the plug but it has a large thin metal rod with it also? i put it back as i didnt want to mess anything else up. Is that my fill plug?

 

Fill it thru the tranny dipstick "straw" if you're not sure. It works just fine, takes a while tho
