Guys let's really help Dave out here, we can do that by: 1.) Watching the entire video, even if it's just in the background (but it's totally worth watching duhhhh). 2.) Liking the video 3.) Putting a comment in the video. All of this will help drive Dave's channel ranking! It takes 2 seconds to do these!

Thanks Dave for the tip. I have been replacing the pans with one with a drain when I do the filter the first time. But they have been harder to find with a good price. The intro music brings me back to the late 80's. Reminds me of the all nighters trying to get rig ready for the weekend. Then taking a shower and out the door for the day job, witch was more wrenching. Except it was all imports, did that for almost 8 years.

You can also use a castellated nut and invert it inside the pan. Just weld it on 2 sides. When I did mine I welded the nut to the outside of the pan, it hangs down a little lower but worked fine.

One issue with a castle nut is it might not support the pan sheet metal around the sealing washer leading to a slight drip.

Drill & tap a hole in a scrap (1"sq is fine) of 1/4" steel flat bar and weld it to the outside of the pan. Then fully TIG the pan-to-plate circle joint inside. That'll give your washer a bearing surface to seal against and allow you to completely drain fluid. Worked for me, anyway. Thanks again for keeping the dream alive here on YT for all of us!!!

I never understood why they didn’t put drain plugs on transmission pans. Some of the foreign models did (years ago) too easy I guess.

I usually get two flanged nuts and weld the one upside down on the bottom of the pan to not trap any oil. But that’s a good idea with the notch never thought of that when doing it, now it makes me think a castle nut would be even better, then it would be slightly more up and protected.
