How the heck do you get to it? I've changed the oil twice, and the only way I can get to the filter is by shoving my left arm down the right side of the firewall. It's a tight fit, and the filter will barely go through it. My arm is a very tight fit and got a couple of fair sized bruises on it today. This is nuts.
It's really frustrating trying to screw it back on by feel. I'm also not sure I'm not knocking trash and dirt onto the gasket surface. There's no way I can get a wrench on it, and I feel like I'm only getting a third of a turn on it because I can only grip it with the fingertips of my weaker left hand.
I consider myself very fortunate that I could turn it off without a wrench because there no way in heck I could ever get one to it.
Any hints short of pulling the transmission?
thx
