Great way to spend the early morning. My kid's 940 had a small leak at the tranny gasket, so I decided to replace it. And was utterly stymied by the seized tranny fill tube nut at the side of the pan. I recall having a bitch of a time on my no-rust California car trying to get this nut off, and sure enough, add a little corrosion and it becomes impossible. PBlaster, heat, knocking it with a punch, major wrench with helper tube: nothing will budge this sucker. I've decided to tighten the pan bolts and await the time when I can remove the entire assembly as a unit (pan and fill tube), which conveniently means pulling the starter bolts as well, before I replace the gasket. Why, oh why, did they assemble this with no antiseize, all the time recommending that you drop the pan every two years and clean it out?
What works? Acetylene torch?
