Decided to add a drain plug on my trans pan to make it much easier to drain the trans fluid.




My only concern is will this be sticking down to far? Will have to get under there and check it out. If so, I might weld a bar in front of it as a deflector.

You take your car off roading too Dan?

My passenger side mirror is still up in the woods somewhere.

Nope, but you never know what'* laying in the road.

Mine hasn't been off road YET!

Its a little late now but you could have used a pipe plug that wouldn't have had the head sticking down.

Illustration please?

That might have worked, but that bolt is actually a drain plug with a rubber O ring to seal it up.

Up here the Opossums that run across the road wear hard hat. They'd take that drain plug out!

I think you'll be okay. If anything, I would strengthen the pan on the inside with a solid plate and then when you hit a hard hatted Raccoon or whatever, the pan wont stretch.

Should be fine. ZZP sells pans with fins and plugs that are lower on the lower to the ground W bodies.

I should be good then.
