And you're going to damage the aluminum by using an impact driver to remove the fill/drain plug how exactly?
Maybe the 2 wrench method would be safer though...

Oh, I agree. I see the inherent danger of impact around aluminum. But that thing wouldnt budge. I even looked it up in my book to make sure I was on the right nut n such, and checked it twice. But anyway... Thanks for the input. I'll figure something out.

All the ones ive ever pulled out have been tight. I cant beieve the impact wouldnt get it out. Thats crazy tight. Apparently the one on my 4runner is or was tight at some point cuz somebody rounded it off beyond recognition. Im glad toyota hasnt discontinued parts like american car manufacturers. I wasnt sayin dont use an impact on aluminum but definitely excercise extreme caution. You know how sometimes youll hit the switch by accident without realizing it and then bad things happen. Good luck gettin it out

Crazy tight for sure. Extreme caution for sure. I'm kind of stuck on this one. Dunno for sure what I'm gonna do. I....Dunno. I was perplexed for sure. I figured i would just...you know....tap it with the impact, it would break free but....Nope.

Does this discussion of a 1994 toyota pickup transmission oil change also apply to a 1989 Toyota Tacoma pickup 5 speed?

Well even in 2wd the transfer case is turning.
Did you check the front differential as this only turns when the hubs are in.
It is a sad fact that people often just drive these vehicles with no maintenance what so ever .
Bearings that run dry on oil only last so long.
It could just be the front differential is just noisy from being worn.

Any problem with that? Any problem with the doc saying that wine is good for you?

Ok to use redline 75w90 in transmission?
im reading the back of the bottle of redline 75w90 full synthetic gear oil and it says "not for use in most manual transmissions with synchronizers" I saw an above post that said this is the best thing to use. And one have anything to add?

Old trannys like straight GL-4 spec oils, not GL-5 spec, or GL-4-GL5 multispec oils.
The GL-5 oils often prove too slippery to permit good syncro function.
GL-5 oils, on the other hand, are perfectly fine for differentials and transfer cases.
