Trans. fill plug removal:
IF your fill plug isn't too boogered up a 19mm 12-point box-end wrench grabs that 17mm square head quite nicely.

Engine removal:
When you remove an s-13 engine NEVER un-plug the harness from the engine. It's too much of a PITA. INSTEAD un-plug it from the ecu and route the harness back into the engine bay. Clearing the brake lines is a PITA, but other then that it's easy. On ABS equipped cars this does not necessarily apply though because you have to remove the ABS unit to remove the harness...

Broken bolt removal:
Throw away every easy-out or similar tool you have out and go buy a welder. All you do is weld a nut to the broken bolt and it comes right out. The heat hepls to break it loose as well. Even if the stud is sunk into an aluminum head you can still weld it, I've done it. It turned an impossible to remove broken bolt into a 10 minute job.
