Add a Drain Plug to Any Transmission or Engine Oil Pan - How To

[@JBPlaysGames1]

I'm probably missing something, but what's going to stop the inside nut from spinning once you loosen the bolt a little?

[@sheldonmcclaflin8904]

Double wrench, a wrench on the larger outside bolt and a smaller wrench on the drain plug bolt. Hold the larger nut and turn the smaller drain plug bolt.

[@tomfloyd8282]

why did you put that drainplug up so high instead of the bottom like your oil drainplug is right next to it your trans oil will not all drain out better go get another one & start over.

[@ChadWilliamsFixesAll]

I really like where I put it. The reason is, I have to jack one side of my car up, so all the fluid will be leaning towards where I put the plug. Almost all comes out. But, this pan will be coming off, I just bought an aluminum one with an integrated drain plug.

Chevy s10 show me all DRAIN PLUG from under trcuc

Great video man, thanks a lot. Ill update after i get the project done

[@99nouns]

Probably lock tight or any glue would be good idea to add to counter nut threads, after this point, you can add one more if you need it.

I did this on a 2014 Silverado. No more getting splashed with a gallon of transmission fluid. I used RTV on the drain plug and let it cure overnight before putting everything back together.

[@Clanofcampbell]

Im about to do this on the 2015 Silverado that's what brought me to this video. I was wondering if I could do it without even taking the pan off to sort of drill a hole in the right place and then put a plug

[@theirthereandtheyre2947]

Absolutely have to remove your pan. Take extreme care in getting all the metal shavings cleaned out of the pan. Start with small diameter bits then use thicker ones. RTV has to cure for 24 hours.

I wonder if this could be used on a 9 in. Ford rear?

[@sheldonmcclaflin8904]

I have put about 5 of them on my vehicle's rear diff covers. Makes draining the diff so nice.

[@kismofer1]

can you add lock tight???

[@leejr531]

What's the part number and can I find this at O'Riley's

[@watchmanonthewallcouk6498]

Why not put it on the bottom of the pan rather than the side ? there's alot of other stuff under there that is hanging a lot lower?

[@KO-pk7df]

Maybe the clearance to the valve body or filter etc. It looks to me there was a big flat spot on the rear of his pan where GM used to put the factory drain.

[@sheldonmcclaflin8904]

Want to take that chance?

[@silverdragontaylir8252]

Is drain plug 1/8 inch(drain plug with O'Ring)

[@hansknutson2327]

Lazy car manufacturers Can't even put drain plug. Used to have drain plug In torque converter also What they can do very well is Make parts that fail exactly When they want them to

[@zuberilol]

Why not just weld a nut on the inside, then bolt and washer on the outside?

[@sheldonmcclaflin8904]

I did, I had both large bolts welded.

[@selwyn13]

What I don’t understand is how would that nut not fall and get lost the second you remove the drain bolt to train the tranny?

[@PoisonShot20]

It's one bolt threaded inside of the main bolt. So you unscrew the plug, the plug is male. Got it? 2 pieces. Male and female. But with heat, it's possible that the female bolt could come loose. Using BJW, may be a must.

[@selwyn13]

@@PoisonShot20 Oh so its almost as if your screwing a bolt into a larger hollow bolt and nut. The piece that we initially install that would act as the female end, is that reverse thread (lefty tighty, Rightly loosey) direction?

[@PoisonShot20]

@@selwyn13Well, one thread being LH and the other RH does not help, it will work when you're removing the male plug to drain the pan. To screw it back in, you will unscrew the insert ( female ) Kind confusing, and hard for me to explain, English not being my native language. But I think you got the idea, I hope anyway!🙏 Solution is place a washer and locknut, inside plus BJW, or weld it.

[@briankarl8955]

I would have put it on the bottom...

[@rickyduplessis4346]

Why didn't He put it where the factory would have

[@Whyte_Ryce]

The factory wouldn’t have. Because it would have one already 🙄

[@thomasdaum1927]

Those always leak , spend $40 bucks buy a Dorman replacement pan that comes with a ( Good ) drain plug !…..

[@srs_lol]

This is awkward
