this may sound stupid, but I cannot for the life of me get the plug on the transmission fluid pan to come loose. I am desperatly over due for a change. I have purchaced all the fluid and everything. I really don't want to pay to have it done. I tried using a pipe around an old soccet wrench only to bend the wrench. Is there any thing I can spray on there to help like WD40 or something? Or do you think a repair shop can just loosen it for me?
