hey guys, i just need some info. my drain plug is stripped in the tranny pan and has a slow leak. i just checked with my local lexus dealer and got some conflicting info...
the first guy told me that the pan MIGHT still work but i MIGHT have to get it rethreaded. then the next guy said... "there is no saving the drain pans, so if the plug is stripped then i'd have to buy a new $140 tranny pan also." originally i was set to perform a complete tranny flush but not now that i MIGHT have to add a new pan later, and was also thinking about just going to a local auto shop(pepboys) and have them pull the stripped plug so i could add the new plug, but after hearing the "no saving the pan" guy i'm having second thoughts.
i know good and well that the dealer are snakes and want every penny they can get but normally they give me good solid advice but in this case i'm not so sure?
any info at all would be greatly appreciated!!!
