Firefish, have you found a mag drain plug for the trans? My car is up on jackstands now as I was changing eng oil, trans fluid. found 2 small chips in the fluid, and would like to get a mag. on the plug. Also found that the fill plug and fill hole threads were mangled. Just another problem for....the car that needs nothing.... as the p.o. claimed. M22-1.5 thread chasers are expensive. Thanks G.

Everything over here is metric and even though I haven't magnets myself I know of several who does. However, it should be easy enough to make one if you could find a suitable magnet - simply drill a recess in the plug and push the magnet it (secure with glue). Since it is magnetic it aint gonna go anywhere.

Bandit, I ordered one from magneticdrainplugs, didn't like the way it looked, may be made for equipment rather than a car. It was too long and the way the mag was glued/epoxied on scared me a bit, plus the flange was larger around than the original, the socket hole was square, not even sure if a 3/8 ratchet was supposed to be used to tighten/loosen it. Would it work, I don't know, not going to try it. Ordered new drain plugs, may backdrill the 10mm allen hole for a magnet someday.
Was the 911 post hold out of respect for WTC, or the car? At least you do not have 14 THOUSAND !
Also found M22-1.5 taps, set of 4 on e-slay, offered $20, they are on the way, hopefully this will be a one time use.
