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.

I just said that because I've never seen proper tig welds break or leak, but hell if mig will do the job then get it migged, just make sure whoever is doing it is good at what they are doing.

I've seen tons more broken TIG welds than MIG welds. Its becuase the welder tries to make pretty welds with rainbow colors and hair thin beads to impress people on the internet and sacrifice weld strength so the internet can go "wow they look soooo JDM and cool" :-\ Any ------- can make a strong MIG weld, so your better off MIG welding it.
