Transmission Drain Plug

Interested in adding a drain plug to my transmisison pan next time it is off. Anyone ever do that? Or is there a third party that makes such a pan?

Most auto parts stores sell a transmission drain plug kit.

It requires drilling a hole in your existing pan. I do currently have one installed, but it leaks slightly. The kit I bought came with nylon washers, which dont do a good job of sealing it completely.

I think the kit was somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 bucks. Go to your local auto parts store and ask around, either that or just look around. With the kit I bought, I shouldve used rubber washers and some type of RTV.

Fluid doesnt just poor out of mine, but it does seep slightly.

But anyway, they are out there, just go have a look around and see what you find.

Heres a thread that shows what I have, plus what some other folks have, plus some other ideas. http://bonnevilleclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=56967&highlight=drain+plug

They don't have transmission drainplugs or drainbolts I assume I saw one their, what about differentail fluid and drainplugs?

it is worth your time to take off the tranny pan and clean out the gunk and replace the filter. Unless you plan on racing your Intrigue I don't see the need for a tranny fluid drain-plug.

Try Fastenal or maybe your local farm implement if your car parts place doesn't have the parts. NAPA is great also.
