I assume a brass piece is stuck in your trans. Looks like time to go buy a set of easy outs and pull it out then buy an new fitting. Small fittings like that require a backup wrench on the fitting to help prevent breakage.

I'm on my way to the hardware store now. What's behind thaqt fitting? Am I gonna screw my trans with particles now? I'm at 70,400 miles today of course. I'm so sick it's rediculous.

It loosened when I was taking the line fitting off. So I was retightening it. Stupid stupid stupid.

Well got the fitting out. Went and got the new fitting from the dealer, since it isn't a normal hardware part.

$40. Now it's overfull. hhhhhhh

Glad you got it. Dont forget to check it in neutral -brakes on - engine running with the normal valve body. Suncoast etc may flow fluid in park also.
