Yup, that would have kept me from being stranded for several hours. It would have been work for another day when I could buy the tools I needed! Due to the closeness of the plug to the tunnel, I used a thin wall wrench on the socket bit that was left sticking out beyond the plug. Had to remove the tranny mount to have a turning radius for the wrench. Tranny "seems" to shift better but I haven't tried driving it very far yet. I want to see if there is a 1st gear "clunk" when going into 1st gear with the engine is cold.
