Now your problem will be finding a torque wrench that measures to the tenth of a foor pound. lol. Seriously, I think you will be ok rounding it to 22 Ft pounds.

You can carefully bend the shift cable mount a bit and the pan can clear it. If you are not comfortable doing that, you can remove it.

Today I try to hammer in a 16 point side 14 shocket ( I dont know If im doing any damage to the tranmission by bang on the drain plug bolt ), anyway no work, make more strip, ASTA ! I dont want use the thing you told me, cause im affaid I hit it so hard something fall down inside :(

I use a big vice grip, and grip it hard I can, make more mess.

Last option, My friend gonna try to welt in a side 14 or 15 bolt on the trip plug, and hope we can get it loose.

You can try to weld something to the plug, but everytime I try that, weld ends up breaking. I still think you should try the damaged bolt sockets. The link is in a previous post of mine. I've removed 5 plugs that way.
