Transmission Drain Nut???
 
Hey,
OK so I went to change my tranny fluid, first time on a honda.
And i found that the drain bolt was completely round and uses a "Square-Shaped" Allen key to loosen.
Where can i get this other then Honda, I'm going to jump to the conclusion that they are over priced on this part, where can i get one? How much does it cost? And what should i be asking for when i go shopping for it?


OOORRRR does anyone have one that i could use??

P.S.... my lazy :yawn: hasnt gone to look for it yet... maybe it's an easy thing to find.. maybe it isnt.. BUT with school and all @ this current moment in time this is faster then actually shopping.

Thanks :thumbup:

The "Square-Shaped" Allen key you speak of is not some special tool from Honda. It's the drive part of a 1/2" ratchet.

really, this is based on fact and not fiction????
SOOO what ur telling me is taht my lazy a$$ just had to take my socket ratchet while my car was all jacked up and un-do it.....
NOW i have to do it all again, cause i didnt reach for that stupid ratchet????

IF thats the case THANKS a million DubassI.....:thumbup:

Well, based on fact. That is what I use when I change my tranny fluid. I highly doubt the drain plug is any different on your car. Just make sure it's the right size ratchet.

I thought it was a 3/8 th drive socket that went in there... (I could be mistaken been awhile since I did my last transmission swap)

Well, it's whatever size my rachet drive is. You could be right, but one will work.

yeah it's the "medium sized" 3/8 inch drive from a regular ratchet. no special tools needed :)
