Bob,
AH Spares sells a magnetic washer for the overdrive. I have often seen, mos=
tly on the late model overdrive three or four magnetic washers inside the b=
rass drain plug, but they were of the flexible type, very much like thick f=
ridge magnet that yu get from Real Estate Agent or the likes. You can purch=
ase that stuff by the sheet at Staples in various thickness, so that is wha=
t I have done in the past and it seems to work.

Perhaps one of the exotic metal, 'high-strength' magnets just slapped on th=
e outside of the plug? People sell magnet bands to go around spin-on oil fi=
lters.

Once you=92ve got that sorted out you can buy 2 or 3 of the magnetic rings =
