Default Put tranny drain plug in the wrong spot

Well, this gives me a reason to get a deep tranny pan. I put the drain plug on the wrong side of the magnet. Now it is hitting the governor pressure solenoid.

Only thing about the tubes I don't like is they can get clodged.

True, but how hard is it to shoot it with a hose or a pressure washer.

When you have mud on your truck for 3 weeks it gets pretty hard.

They are external, not internal. And I have an air compressor to clean them out with. I don't take it offroading. The only thing i can think of with clogging is in the wintertime with the slush.

OH, i just saw that they sell used stock replacement pans. ALl of those rebuilds they do, they keep the stock pans.

But, I wanted a bigger pan..shhhh the wife doesn't know. She just thinks i am a moron for messing this up. But not as bad as when i set my 1996 on fire.
