Bill, I just want to be sure you're turning the right fill plug.

Driver's side, half way up, just back from the bell housing.

It actually takes a while for the tranny to warm up, and it will only get up
to about 130-140 degrees.  I'm not sure that's gonna make it any easier.

If you can raise the car to get better access then a long pipe slipped over
the wrench may get you the leverage you need to crack it free.

Hello,

       bought a long 14 mm wrench today, got under the car and banged
       with a hammer on it and still can't budge the fill plug.
       Someone suggested warming it with a 100 watt light bulb...
       would driving the car and warming the tranny do the same thing,
       seeing as how I don't have a drop light? .. or should I get one
       of those too?.... (mine is a cordless LED type, no heat)... or
       how about a blow dryer aimed at the plug?...
