What sort of drive does the plug have! An external square or hex drive or an internal square drive! What have you tried so far to undo it!

square drive.have tried using the actual tool to do it but there is no way it will shift,i have done all the sensible things like soak it in crc.tried a bit of gentle heating and cooling.tried to jar it with a few good cracks.only problem is i have installed it now.probably should have loosened it off before hand.

If its a RWD Transmission and not a Transaxle you should be able to fill up through where the gear stick goes in, failing that you can try the Speedo Drive as well.
If the bolt/filler hasn't snapped/stripped, you haven't put enough force into removing it yet! :)

If internal square, you could try a little weld at the base of the square (so you can still get your tool to insert). The plug will shrink slightly and hopefully free it.

If you got access to a mig welder weld a bar across the head of the filler plug. Let it cool for a minute and then try moving it. Leverage is the answer.
