B&M tranny drain plug kit, drill hole and bolt it on.

Seems like a cool idea but would it be to small and restict oil flow?


I'd just JB weld it, I used stealthmodes kit and just kept putting JB weld on till it didn't leak

JB weld is half assed and will deteriorate after a while anyway.

Take to oil pan to someone who knows their ---- and get it rewelded using tig.

Than makes sense but the old one that is leaking now not only does it leak but i have to position it a little better cause it almost hits the DP and makes putting the hose on a real bitch..

I have one of these on my one car's tranny pan and the inner diameter is puny. Probably too small for a gravity fed oil return line.
