Default WTF ....tranny bolts breakin / rusted!!

My tranny pan bolts are rusted. I was removing my pan to change the filter and broke the first one, and i got 3 more than are borderline coming out. I use a penetrating oil and keep working them back and fourth. Anybody else have this problem?

Honestly That something I havent really run into, But yes use the penitratiing oil and patience. Spray i botl on top and under the bolts as most go all the way through the case. You must live in and area where they use alotta road salt?

Update! Well the only one I broke was the first one. Go figure! Well anyways I used a ton of penetration oil and kept working it back and forth. Now just gotta drill the one out!

wow, for a bolt that doesnt take that much torque thats pretty odd.
