If I recall correctly, the stock drain plug is magnetic. It just doesn't have a strong enough magnetic per say. I bought a set of Spoon magnetic plugs for about $40 awhile back. They were actually stronger, but the transmission plug did not fit into my auto tranny. Not sure if it would have fit the manual tranny though.

Well, you know what, I called them and they say they don't make one or carry it, so somebody out there knows something I, or my several local Autozones, don't.

Did they say they don't make it for the accord? If so then just ask for the Prelude one

I've bought a few from Pep Boys before for about $3.50 a piece. I can pick you up one if you want.
