I sorta missed the beginning of this conversation but are you saying the 17mm recessed hex socket drain plugs in your tranny leak? The drain plugs screw into a hole that get smaller as it goes inward (I forget the technical term) so if you overtighten them, it can screw up the hole or possibly crack the edges. If they are just a little widened from overtightening, you can probably use some Teflon tape around the drain plug threads to stop the leaking, I had to do this on one of the reduction box drain plugs on my Bus.

The plugs have always leaked in this car for some reason--who knows why. A mechanic I know once had a 65 Notch with the same problem, so maybe it's a flaw specific to the model year? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
