Manual Transmission Drain Plug - Magnet?

Hi Everyone,

I am currently in the process of doing a few things to my 986, including changing the transmission oil. I have a '99 2.5L 5-speed. I have seen a mention of a magnet either on the drain plug or in front of the drain plug inside the transmission.

I was hoping someone could clear up where this magnet is, or if it even exists. The drain plug does not appear to have a magnet on it and after feeling inside the transmission I did not feel a magnet or any kind of buildup that could be attached to a magnet, just oil.

Random Info: I was trying to find pictures of what the drain plug looks like, and it appears you can't even buy the 16mm Triple Square plugs anymore, just the Hex plugs.

Thank you in advance,
-Rick
