I am changing my transmission fluid (mk5 6spd manual) and I've discovered the drain and fill holes require a tamper resistant torx bit to remove them. Does anyone know what size Torx bit I will need? I've tried T55 and no luck (too small).

When I was in the trade I worked as a tech for various marques, I had the tool that fits those , it was a Snap on thing.
I think the gearbox plug on VW was it's only use!
