Did a drain and refill on the Datsun 5-speed in the Morris today, and now the transmission is leaking past the drain plug a bit. Enough that I need to sort it out.
I've got it in there tight, but now thinking I need some sort of sealer on the threads. It's a male pipe thread, similar to the diff drain (no washer or shoulder on the plug). Something like Permatex thread sealant? Other thoughts?
In other 4-door Sprite news, I also installed a rebuild diff and redone driveshaft. I've now been through pretty much all of the mechanicals other than the engine, and that was rebuilt by the PO and runs great. Just need to sort this trans leak and I'm ready for the driving season.
