Same thing happened to me. I ordered a new pan (just in case) and it came with a bolt torqued in there so much i couldn't get it out either.

i just take off the pan now, anyways. that way I can clean the magnet under it.




anyone need a new 6MT tranny pan with bolt?

Motul Lubricants is where i ordered mine from. Funny thing is, i found their site after using "motul" in the google search. They had the best price around before shipping, and with shipping included. Even beating my local shops OTD price.

I order mine from LTB Motorsports for free shipping and their prices are low. Check it out guys. Due to Fedex & UPS regulations we can not ship oil via Express shipping, we will only ship via ground.

Motul 300, more specifically Motul Gear300 is the product name, the numbers do not signify the oil weight.

MOTUL Gear 300
