    Tranny fluid mystery bolts???

    OK, I've read Joe Black's "how to" along with about 5 different threads on this. Got my stuff together and figured I would let stuff drain out tonight and fiddle with the pleasant task of putting fluids back in tomorrow or over the weekend. I am stumped. The fill and drain plus on the bottom of my transmission pan are not the ones in Joe Black's write-up. Instead, I have two circular bolts with a hole in the middle of each. WTH is that? I've not seen them before on any of my vehicles. Granted, I've not tried to change tranny fluid before either, but what gives? I would have taken a picture to be helpful, but honestly my wife made chicken in curry sauce tonight and I was starting to get nauseous on the garage floor looking up at the belly of my VX. If no one knows w/o pictures, I will try to take some tomorrow. How in the world do I get these circular bolts off the transmission pan?? They don't seem to be simple covers? Please help....

    i know the transfer case has bolts like that that just take a 3/8" socket extension to plug into it and unscrew it

    Thanks for the help Etlsport,
    don't laugh, but do you mean like a torx bit or something similar? You can tell I didn't grow up a mechanic....

    Maybe take some pics and post them so we can point out what is what.

    Almost sounds like someone's plugged tranny cooler adapters...
