I asked about the diff in another thread, but is it possible to access the transmission drain plug without putting the car on 4 jack stands? Maybe, perhaps, just by removing the driver's wheel and accessing it that way?

 

how would you drain and/or fill it with so little clearance?

 

How would you remove the wheel without jacking up the car?

 

Not possible. The transmission drain plug is nowhere near the wheels.

Unless you want to die, don't get under any car supported by a jack only.

 

you can hold the car up like superman. =)

 

the drain bolt is like dead in the middle....be impossible to reach it unless u are like a super skinnny 5 year old kid to fit under there .

 

by some jackstands and a descent jack mate!

 

Unless you are as flat as a cardboard, you will not be able to reach the drain bolts on the transmission.

Besides, why not give yourself some room to work? Get some Jackstands!

 

what about with ramps? im thinking of doing this soon

 

No, the car has to be level because the only way you'll know the tranny is properly filled is when it comes pouring out of the fill hole.

I actually put a big leveler (the kind with a bubble) against one of the frame rails to make sure the car is level.
