For all those pulling the plug on your trannies, and
this applies to most VWs (all Vanagons), you should
consider visitng your Snap-on guy and buying the
tranny plug socket.  Its small, you can attach it to
any 3/8 rachet or extension, and then can easily
remove and install the plug.  This will cut your time
down to a fraction of the time it takes to use a
regular allen wrench.

The tool number is CPT110A
The cost is a very reasonable $13.40
It is well worth it...
