PoppaSmurf Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) I noticed a leak of transmission fluid in a 2014 Subaru Legacy. I check under and it looks like the the transmission fluid fill plug is broken. The top half of the threads are gone. Is it possible to put a longer transmission fill plug bolt in to reach those inner threads? The two broken pieces were attached loosely.

PoppaSmurf Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 So I haven't had any luck finding a longer bolt. The plan was putting a longer bolt or using a recessed hex bolt. (Both suggested by other people). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoppaSmurf Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Does anyone know the drain fill plug bolt size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 The dealer ship would. Wait, the picture shows the broken female threads, is the case broken ? You might get lucky by just wrapping the male threads of the plug with Teflon pipe tape like you would do the NPT.
