M5OD Freeze Plug
I poked my head up to look at the shift rail plugs when I bought the truck in late-May. Could only see two of them, but was happy when I saw steel plugs.
Yesterday I smell smoke and AFT is almost pouring off of the tailpiece. Took the floor plate off and saw this:
Got the camera in better where my head wouldn't fit:
Took the cover off and the plugs were installed with RTV & one stake. Pulled them out, cleaned everthing up, & installed with RTV, staking in four spots. I hope they don't fall out. Maybe I should have epoxied them in. I did fill in each plug recess inside the trans so there's that much more RTV keeping them in.
