FixKick,
Update, finally had a chance to have a friend weld a bolt to the transmission fill plug yesterday. All worked out just fine. After a couple of spot welds the plug came out and he finished welding the bolt to the plug with it removed from the transmission. Finally after so many months I was able to drain the transmission fluid and replace last night with GL4. Tracker shifts better with new fluid and reverse is easier to find.
Now on to the plugged EGR passages and a new timing belt, water pump, etc.
Thank you for the tips above,
Bruce
