Just changed the shift forks on my 95’ F-150 300/6, with the m5od, and manual transfer case.

Is there meant to be a plug here? If so, will the 5/8 freeze plug work?

According to the 7th post in this thread, 5/8" freeze plugs will work, although I have no experience using them.

Thanks! I was a little confused as I’ve read most people change the rubber plugs to the freeze plugs, not those front metal plugs. I’ve only put a handful of miles since buying it, but I assume that hole made all my fluid disappear, and caused my shift forks to disintegrate.
