The gasket for the 5EAT drain plug is part number 11126AA040. My dealership charged me $1.16 plus tax. Just because I didn't change my ATF filter, doesn't mean you shouldn't change yours. I'm not a mechanic or technician. I'm just work on my car for fun and to save money.

I did not change the ATF filter. I have a new crush washer out in my car. I'll get the part number and post it from the office.

Yeah. It was pretty freakin' easy. I need to buy a few of those drain plug crush gaskets. I bought 10 quarts of the 5EAT tranny fluid. I plan on doing the drain and refill at least one more time to get some more of the old fluid out of the tranny. I wish I had tried the 8mm bit twice last week. I just went ahead and drained and refilled the engine coolant last weekend.

I was wrong about the 8mm socket not fitting. I tried again today, with my new set of allen wrenches and the 9mm. 9mm was too big. I put the 8mm in the plug, and it was a perfect fit. I must have been turning the socket at a weird angle last weekend. 8mm allen fits the 5EAT ATF drain plug. My T70 torx bit is on order for the differential drain plugs.

I got my answer from a fellow forum member. He has actually used the tools on his car. So, he knows. - T70 Torx for the front differential - T50 or equivalent sized Allen for the transmission

What tool is required for the ATF drain plug on the 5EAT? Is it a 9mm hex bit? I put an 8mm hex bit into it, and it was just a little too small. The 10mm looks WAY too big. It is hard to find a 9mm hex bit socket anywhere. I have a set that has 8mm and 10mm. That's what I find wherever I look. I need to buy the right tool. I already have some fresh ATF (for 5EAT) ready to go. Thanks..........
