Here's another photo of the drain (yellow) and fill (purple) plugs on the six-speed transmissions.

Does Pelican Parts sell those fill and drain plugs? Perhaps with a magnet? Previous owner/mechanic buggered mine up; see below. I got them out but don't want to reuse. Knowing that the 5 and 6 speed have different plugs, from Project 38, I want to make sure I get the right ones. I'm having a heck of time trying to find these. When I do find the plug that isn't for the Tiptronic they don't differentiate the 5 or 6 speed.

Darn, hate it when someone uses sae instead of metric size tools. Should be 17mm wrench and yup Pelican lists the plug, at least for a 986

HERE is the fill plug.

HERE is the magnetic drain plug.

HERE are the seal washers

My sincere apologies for not listing in the catalog!

I believe they are 10mm allen socket to remove. The older 915 gearboxes had the 17mm

By the way your first link goes to a 911 Air box plug?

Yes I am not too sure why the description is listed like that, but the plug is the same according to the Porsche Parts Diagrams.
