Question What size tools for the drain/fill of autom. transmission?

I was going to drain the Transmission and fill it again, but I came to the conclusion I do not have the right size tools. Can anybody tell me what size? i can't find that info on RAVE CD either...

Doesn't it take an allen wrench?

D1 is an 1 1/16th inch open end wrench for the drain plug..

As far as the D2.. Who knows.. get under it with a tape measure or a micrometer and take a look

Yes it does take an allen wrench on the D2. I tried both sets I have, but no luck... The drain appears to be in between 3/16 and 7/32, and the filler is bigger than 1/4. Rather than buying a whole bunch of tools I just wanted to go buy the exact sizes for the job...

So I should go and buy a micrometer now... A tape measure would not be accurate enough. The idea was to save money insteaad of buying a bunch of tools that won't do me any good... I guess somebody needs to support the economy!

Thanks! Just got back from Autozone and bought a set of metrics that had a big range including the 5 and 8 mm.

Now, let's get back under the car!

Cheers!

That is for the engine oil drain plug, the SDI trans drain plug is like 15mm or such.
He is doing his transmission.

5 and 8 did the trick...

Now, question... I was able to add almost 4.5 quarts. Once it started coming out of the fill hole, it wasn't just a 2 mm bead. It came out like in a (little) stream. I quickly closed it, but now I am wondering if I overfilled it. Is that possible? and if so, is that bad?

Did you start the truck and continue filling?
