Transmission Skid Plate bolt p/n request

[Tomikaze]

I’m trying to remove it to change the gear oil. I’m also in the middle of upgrading to coilovers and need to disconnect the rear axles. I would leave it alone if I didn’t need to remove it.

Make it easy on yourself and drill an access hole to get at the drain plug instead of removing the plate. Many including myself have done it and even JFP has recommended in the past.
