Back again with another question, you folks are life savers! I installed a transmission drain plug on my 727, tightened the plug with the supplied O ring, and it leaked. Tighetened it s little more and split the rubber O ring.
My question is, how much torque is required to keep that plug in place so it doesn't vibrate loose? Would I be better off to find a nylon washer similar to the oil pan drain plug, wrap the threads with teflon tape, or...?
I have a new O ring on it now, a little thicker than the one supplied with the plug kit, and it doesn't appear to be leaking, but it's not very tight to me, but then I'm an overkill guy.
Thanks again...Larry
