I must be out of my mind, I layed under the back of the car and looked for the drain plugs for a hour, I don't see anything that looks like a drain plug!! I bought the 17mm Allen socket before hand too!!! Clarks garaged described it as "on the left side, 17mm allen socket" Could this be only for 85.5 and on??
anyone have pictures of them???
It's an 1983 944

See that roundish plug just to the right of the CV joint or 3-o'clock? Thats the fill plug. In the picture again, go clockwise to 6-o'clock or right under the CV, thats the drain plug.
Go gettem!

They don't look like regular engine drain plugs. These tranny plugs use large allen wrenches, I think the early 944 uses a 17mm allen.

Just a comment on the battle order.....be sure that you remove the fill plug FIRST.....there is nothing worse than removing the drain plug only to find that the fill plug is seized and can not be removed.

Haha, funny thing guys, Someone had put lug nuts upside down into the drain plug hex's so they didn't get full of crap, so i'm under there heavin away with a wrench on the lug nuts before i stopped and looked at the taper end of the lug nut and then relized what it was lol
