TRANSMISSION CHECK PLUG

[DBIZZELL]

Engineers must have had a bad weeken when they came up with 5/16 slot in plug.

I got some aggravated at that design I made a dip stick that I can check with through the fill hole.

nice. share the specs on how you made it.

I must be missing something. It's just a square headed plug. Unscrew and see if fluid dribbles out, or add fluid until it does. Not rocket surgery......

I have no experience with the A but I would certainly assume they'd use a hole tapped with a pipe tap for the check hole. If that's the case, you can pick up a different pipe plug with either an external hex head, an internal hex head or a square head.

Can not stick out its behind break rod and 5/16" square whole for removing is not to command, 1/4" ratchet to small.

Can you grind/file a piece of square or round stock into a 5/16 square , put a 90 deg bend in it and use it as tool for removing this plug and then replace the plug with one that has a hex hole? I'm assuming you will need to remove the brake rod but I'm not familiar with the A.

Some one on Forum suggested using shaft out of door dead bolt,works pretty good

You can get flush plugs with an internal hex. Flush plugs have hash marks around the face of the plug. If it doesn't have the hash marks (see picture below), it's not a flush plug. A flush plug is just that, it screws in further than a standard pipe plug.
