There was some previous post on how ATF pan bolts may be removed by using a "shorter tool". Does anyone have any information on what tool (size, how short) I should get before I get the car up on the lift? thanks for the help!

Paul will probably come along and give the definitive answer.

I think a couple of the A8 tranny pan screws are blocked by the exhaust. I believe you can get to them using something like this:

Not sure what bit you'll need, on the A6 it was T27, which is somewhat oddball.

Default that looks like a potential winner... I'll have to get a set from Sear to try it out. Anyone can

confirm the size of the torx?
