Ian,
I do understand your cautions. You said though that the engine may sieze if the tranny plug falls out. How so if it's the oil in the tranny that would be lost not the oil in the engine. Just wondering. Bob

Bob,
If the rubber can handle the heat and it doesn't leak then I have to assume that it works. I would keep my eyes on it for a while to be sure.
I don't know if the pressure might be enough to blow out the plug but remember...if that plug does come out and you are tootin' down the highway at 60mph....it won't be long till the engine seizes.
Best to get the plug hole fixed properly...in my opinion. I would tap to a larger size...same pitch if possible.
Regards...Ian

Subject: NON-GUZZI TRANNY OIL PLUG
I need sage advice. As some of you remember I the tranny oil plug on my Ambo stripped when I changed the oil this past weekend. Went to the auto parts store and bought a rubber/metal replacement drain plug. This thing shoves into the drain hole and then one just turns an adjuster underneath it which pulls a metal rod down through the rubber plug and the thing grips the hell out of the drain hole. Opinions on this are welcome. It sure beats rethreading. But does it work? Thanks.
