Finding a Magnetic Drain Plug

I am trying to locate a magnetic transaxle plug for my car. The OE part # is 995111800. This is NOT the magnetic plug. I can't locate a magnetic plug anywhere or for that matter find out the size/thread count to match up a drain plug online... Can anyone help me find the size or a magnetic replacement?
Thanks,

Dustin

I'm not familiar with the drain plug on that car, but you can make your own magnetic drain plug my epoxying on one of those little button type super magnets. Heck you might be able to just stick it to the end of the plug with under its own power.

Modern vehicles often use a flat magnet simply sitting in the pan. Maybe yours does too.
