DIY: Transmission Oil Change

Actually the stock transmission plug is not magnetic. The differential plug is though. I've always wondered if you could use a diff plug on the transmission. Never bothered to check.

here you go:
Magnetic drain plug for 6MT gearbox

the diff plug is much longer though, but i'm not sure how much clearance there is inside (or during operation). best to stick to a stock length plug. im going to change my tranny fluid soon. gears are crunchy when hot, stiff when cold.
It's been exactly a year since i changed the oil to Castrol VMX80, which i believe is a mineral fluid. Cheap stuff and silky smooth & light shifting so i dont mind doing it annually.
