The rubber plug is not necessary. Using a drill and a metal hole saw, simply cut an inch and a half to two inch hole in the tray, de-burr the edges, and you are forever in business when servicing the gear box.............

And I have never seen a vacuum system that can drain either an engine or gear box as effectively as the OEM drain plugs..............they all leave some of the oil and crud you are trying to remove behind. Not good.
