Stuart:
I was forced to use Kevin's solution on my tranny as well. I replaced
the
drain plug with a hardware store hex socket pipe plug, 3/8" NPT as I recall.
Always easy to get it out after that. I also used the same plug when I added a
drain to my differential.
The NPT is completely compatible with the BPT used by Triumph. The only
exception is in the case of a STRAIGHT BPT, but the transmission drain does
fall under this exception.

Vice-grips and a cheater bar will get the plug out.
Ya' might want a new one on hand first, though...

I've never had this problem before and have not yet checked the oil level in
the tranny because I couldn't get the fill plug loose. The car is now sitting
up
on jack stands in my garage.
I'm sure this sounds familiar to some of you so please give me the bad news.
