Actually, its a 17mm allen wrench. But whatever works, works. I use an
old (Because I got a zillion of them) wheel bolt and a vice grip to do
the job myself. Works fine.

You may notice that when the tranny is hot, like say after playing on the
freeway or autoxing, it will tend to grind a little bit. Mine grinds into
reverse when its hot, but never when its cold. The tranny is on a 6 month
old rebuild using NEO synthetic tranny fluid. Good stuff Manard.
