Default A must for everyone who cares about their cars.

Okay, I bought some spoon drain plugs about 6 months ago, and since i've destroyed 2 transmissions and changed my oil about 5 times. So I've seen some nasty things being pulled out of my poor motor or transmission. Especially the tranny. I destroyed the differential in my z6 tranny about a week ago, I pulled the motor and tranny last night and when I pulled the plug on the tranny there was a piece of metal the size of a tooth on my tranny plug. Listen, I don't think there are many things out there that are so small that are worth $45. But these are a fantastic investment. Call your local JDM wholesaler today!

Your transmossion already has magnets inside of it for catching small metal debis in it.

When I broke 4 teeth off of my countershaft in my tranny, the teeth were nestled inthe magnet housing and there was no trash floating around at all.

Actually, i'm sure the first tranny was worn mainly to the high miles, and the nos wasn't helping. But I had the poison off for 6 months before the first tranny went. The second tranny only had 20000 miles on it. And I destroyed it in under 2000 miles. So, it probably had to do with the new clutch, new tires, strong motor, and the inevitable weak link, SOHC tranny.
