Picked up my 84 Carrera a couple of months. Though she has been well maintained, I'm taking care of some preventative maintenance items and checking all the usual items just to be sure... This week I got to checking tranny oil though it was changed 7k miles ago. Of course that turned into a nightmare with an over torqued plug. After heating, breaker bar, welding a nut onto it etc, she's out.
I know original fill plugs did not have magnets, nor did this one. But it did have a recess for a magnet. Is that typical for stock or do I have a magnet roaming around the gearbox?
Photo below show the old and new fill plug from Pelican. Though there are no signs of pressing a magnet in such as with the new one, I've read some are epoxied in. There are no signs of that either, but just trying to make sure.
