Confirm these are the transmission plugs?

Just about to loosen the plugs when the little voice in my head spoke, "Are you SUUUUURE those are the right plugs?"

So, for all of those who have changed their transmission fluid, can you please confirm that these are indeed the correct plugs.



Thanks for your help!

No problem... Just be glad the plugs are on the inside now. They used to be on the outside of the trans, meaning that the driver side tire had to be removed in order to fill the trans ....GRRRRR!!!

You might want to take the fill plug out first. It if sticks and you have to buy a new tool or something to take it out, it poses no problem.

If you take the drain out first and then find you can't get the fill plug out, you have a problem.

Thanks again for the confirmation, I just finished my write up on the whole bit. (including the loosening of the fill plug first)
