About the piece:
The Transmission Oil Drain Plug and Washer are small but important components in the transmission system. The plug is the screw responsible for draining the transmission oil from the crankcase, while the plug (gasket) ensures a tight seal on the plug to prevent oil leakage.
Its function:
- Oil Drain: The umbilical allows old oil to drain during maintenance or periodic oil changes.
- Prevents oil leakage: The rose acts as a padding that prevents oil leakage from around the navel when closed.
- Crankcase Protection: Helps reduce the possibility of damage or oil leakage from the crankcase.
Symptoms of damage:
- Gearbox oil leak: Oil spots appearing under the car may indicate damage to the navel or rose.
- Difficulty closing or opening: This may be due to damage to the navel or wear of the screw teeth.
- Gearbox warning light on: May be related to low oil level due to leakage.
