It's like a 20-24mm bolt.
Not your normal size by no means.

Its that big bolt between the red circles. You will need to get a socket for it. Just go buy one and charge your friends to use it when they need to change there fluid.

Lol..

I have the fluid and the socket the problem is someone used an impact wrench on it last time and I can't break it loose now

Always remove the FILLER plug FIRST on a gearbox.

It's a real nuisance trying to refill a transmission through the drain hole. Worst part is damage to the door paint as you tilt it onto its back.

. I hate it when that happens. If the car did good then I scratch its belly till it shakes a tire.

Does the 420a manual tranny have a drain plug? I have never checked.

Yes, and a rubber filler plug behind the left wheel. I don't know if this link will work; the real link is dead, but the Wayback machine can retrieve it:
