'92 manual trans fill plug
Greetings everyone. My latest dilemma: the fill plug on my 5-speed '92 4runner transmission is in way tight. All efforts to loosen it, including multiple soaks of PB Blaster, have been frustrated. The head of the plug is becoming rounded, so I am reluctant to continue the use of wrench or socket to break it free. Short of taking hammer and chisel to the thing, is there a tool or trick I should try?

Just ran into the same problem after accidentally draining the tranny. speedometer problem.
Is there any other plug/bolt on the transmission that will give you a good indication of fluid level? or should I just make sure it's drained completely and put in 4.8 quarts. 1990 2wd 22re. Thanks for the info.

Huhh ... well, the kid's off in the navy; maybe I can hammer one of his english sockets onto the plug and try to reef it off with a cheater bar. Hammer and cold chisel not a good idea to break the plug loose, then?

hit mine with a propane torch for a few moments on low and left it overnight. But I think I just got lucky. the rest of it went well. It ended up taking just over 4qts. before it was dripping.

Pipe wrench should work.
By the way, these replacements from MarlinCrawler are AWESOME:

There might be success in the imperial sizes, I had luck with a 15/16 and a big hammer to get into my 24mm diff filler plug. 1/16th of an inch might get around your rounded bolt..

If you have access to a welder, I find that taking an old nut about the same size as the plug and welding it on top through the hole works perfect. The heat of welding typically breaks the stuck threads loose and the nut gives you a good place for a wrench to get a bite. Of course you'll need a new plug. What I typically find is that the plugs stick due to dirt/grit on the threads, Since it is into a oil filled case, rust is usually not the cause.
