I seem to have a drain plug on the gearbox that isn't willing to move no matter the persuasion...even with the texas screwdriver!

any suggestions?

They do tend to be tight sometimes. I usually put a pipe wrench on the shank, and slip a peice of pipe over the handle.

Yes, a smaller pipe wrench with an extension (length of pipe) is the way to get this done. It worked for me several times...
