Um so those things are NOT stock? That is what I have.

Well good, I feel better that I'm not the ONLY one who has something goofy like this going on underneath my VX.Originally Posted by JHarris1385
I will fiddle with it more tomorrow to see if anything I have will fit that small hole. I have to wonder what benefit this contraption is over OEM. If anybody knows anything else on this, please chime in. Thanks!!

Mine has never been serviced and those are what are on mine.

They could have run into a supply issue at the factory where the 4L30E is made, & had to find an alternate source of plugs.
Could also be an improved design, to lessen the chance of over tightening & stripping the threads?

I'll know more once I get them off

dang, upon closer inspection, it sure looks like a torx bit would work and I thought a t-40 was the right side, dang thing didn't budge at all and I almost go to the point where I was going to strip it,
this sucks
come on mechanics of the VX world, is anyone familiar with these things?
please?

This transmission was built in France, then shipped to Japan, to install in out trusty steeds...
France has always liked to be on the cutting edge of being, "different" or is the more approiate word, "strange".....
I would order replacement plugs from Isuzu then r&r..but beware this may be a "re-threaded" replacement and the stock no longer fit'sPerhaps the previous owner did this masterpiece
Super VXer
I really doubt the previous owner did that. I have the same bolts and I have seen the same in the gallery here as well. It seems like some were shipped this way.

OK, how many of you have a 2000 VX with those type plugs? I have a 2001 and mine do not look like that either. Maybe this is something on the 2000s only, and the 99s and 01s have the "regular" type plugs?
