Trouble is, Mr. HyundaiTech, no matter how much you twist or turn it, it
can't come out. The transmission drain plug is just plain too long, and the
rail is just plain too close to the opening..

But if your dealership is Hyundai only, and not Hyundai/Kia (as all of my
area dealerships are), I will apologize to all for bringing this onto a
Hyundai chat group.

Does anyone know of a website where we can share this kind of
information with others? I feel like naming names..
