Trans drain and fill ports

[AAA96]

Anyone have a picture of the trans drain and fill ports (not the stock manual photo). If not, I am going to snap a few tomorrow when I do the fluid changes.

I took some when I did a clutch swap a few years back: https://driveviper.com/forums/threads/21571-Nth-Moto-Gen-4-Clutch?p=373624&viewfull=1#post373624

I'm sure you could get better ones...mine were grabbed with my cell phone.

Thanks gents. Will try and take some more just to have I case anyone needs them.

Also, does the engine oil drain bolt use a gasket or thread sealer?

Gasket for oil drain “gasket is part of the factory bolt”; thread sealer for the rest.

Never got the gasket. Reuse or go get a new one?

It is not a separate gasket - it is embedded in the drain plug. If you need to replace it, you replace the entire drain plug.

Generally not needed unless you do something to damage the seal.

Thanks Steve.

Make sure the oil filter rubber o ring comes off with the filter. Sometimes they stick to the engine block and need to be pulled off before re installing the new filter.
