Was trying to change out the trans fluid in the 5-speed, and couldnt get the filler plug out. Ended up stripping it, and had to tear it up with a chisel to get it free and back it out. Dont know why the heck it was in so dam tight, the drain was so tight had to use an impact to get it out. ANYWAY, where the heck do I get a new filler plug? It is a straight thread with a flange that seals to the tranny. Dorman make replacements or it this a friggin dealer thing? Any help appreciated. I Tig welded a nut to it, and tried to fix the torn up flange so I can at least drive the truck, but its leaking already.
Thanks

Grease a pipe tap up real goo and tap it out and put a pipe lug in it. The reason they stick so bad is that the dissimilar metals becomes a corrosion point. They can be a real pain to get out as you have seen. Another way is to get the drain out like you did and fill it through the shifter. capacity is 3.8 qts I think. Most people claim better operation with a rounded off 4 qts. You have to fill through the shifter for that.

Probably a dealer bolt. I would guess it will be a 10 dollar bill.
I agree the drain is a pain. I always end up with a 6' cheater so I can be out from under the truck and stand to loosen it.

Thanks bud, thats exactly what I was looking for. I am not a big metric measurement fan, but can get it close I imagine. So M22 is the millimeter diameter and the 1.5 is length?? Is that right? Looking at plugs on the Dorman web page, I think I remember a similar sized plug on there. May just crap out and go to the "stealer" and order one. But thanks much for the info, that helps.
