Re-Tapping Drain hole threads
A bit of a high jack but when I changed my fluid this last spring, I noticed I had to ratchet out the drain plug the entire distance up to the last thread or 2. So I knew there was something wrong with the thread alignment. I couldn't see anything on the plug that indicated cross threading but couldn't really see the threading in the transmission. When I screwed the plug back I only got a couple of turns by hand, I had to hard ratchet the plug back in. I knew the threads where bugger up but if I could get a seal I would deal with it many years from now. Well the plug is seeping a bit, no drips and I don't dare apply any more tightening. It required way more than the 19 or so ft/lbs.
Question, does any one know the thread pattern for this drain hole. I'm hoping I can drain, buy a new plug and tap the threads true??
The Auto Atlanta Parts catalog indicates M 24X1.5 ???
