    Stripped transmission drain plug

    Thank you. The plug is VERY snug. It so snug I wasnt expecting a leak at all. Even when tightening it felt like it has a good bite. Thats why dont want to overtighten it and risk stripping whatever thread is left on the pan.

    Stripped transmission drain plug

    Thanks for ALLLL of the replies guys its VERY appreciated !!! Whats bugging me is that the plug is pretty darn snug and it felt firm all the way until it bottomed out, indicating that I have a good bite on the threads ? I didnt cross thread it because it flat against the pan. I would have...

    Stripped transmission drain plug

    Avoid the need to drill ??? Just ratchet that sucker on ? Im all for whatever will stop the leak with the minimum amount of work.

    Stripped transmission drain plug

    Hey all looking for some advice here. Long story short I stripped out the trans drain plug. I picked another one BUT the threads on the pan looked a bit worn so was EXTREMELY careful tightening it down. The plug did feel snug as if I had a good bite on the threads. Unfortunately it leaks a bit...

    New Used Car - Advice Needed

    Find out WHERE the leak is coming from FIRST. Since you said the top of the engine I would check to see if the bolts are loose on the valve cover.....you MIGHT get lucky ! If you want to change oils go with valvoline maxx life synth blend. Its the gold standard here for high mileage oils. I...

    Do you have any facial hair?

    Good aftermarket speakers - 6.5 inch using factory headunit?

    I have had Polks in my Pontiac Vibe for 10 years and they are usually about 100 bucks a pair. To me they sound fantastic and have a rubber surround that can take a beating LOL. As someone said earlier the highs can be a bit piercing but that can be adjusted with your preset EQ to compensate.

    Opinions on best oil to use with Restore engine oil additive.

    Try BG EPR then switch to Valvoline max life synth blend with a quart a marvel mystery oil. Go with short oil intervals afterwards. Im having a issue with low compression, oil consumption and rough idle. I havent re-tested for compression, but my idle is WAY smoother ( im shocked from how rough...

    For fun... GV60 vs Model Y vs Mach E-GT drag race.

    EVs dont bother me at at. Fast is fast....no matter what propels it. I remember when "all engine" guys would complain that nitrous was cheating. Times have changed. The only issue I have is the Ipad dashboards and no noise. Give the car a 15,000 RPM gage and straight cut gears so we can hear the...
