99 boxster 5-speed
I pulled off the trans pan and loosened the aluminum track arms this morning to drain my trans fluid.
I wanted to confirm that the fill plug is forward (towards the front of the car) of the axle/halfshaft? That's the only thing I saw that looked like a 17mm would fit in there.
Side note: I inherited this car from my father and it came with a tri-square socket and what I thought was a 17mm dedicated allen wrench. It has a box-end on one side and a allen on the other. Came with the Porsche. Only thing I knew that needed such a thing was the trans fluid.
So I go to loosen the fill plug this morning....it's too small. I slip a 17mm socket over it and realize - for some reason, the Porsche came with a 16mm tool that was sitting with the tri-square. Doh.
Running out to get the 17mm insert socket now, figured I'd confirm Ihad the right location for the fill plug while I was at it
