Hi Jean,<br>
<br>
I think Michael was referring to a magnetic plug for the gearbox;
presumably, this would keep some of the swarf from chipped gears
from getting to the O/D. I have the flexible magnets in the O/D
plug.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">AH Spares sells a magnetic washer for the
overdrive. I have often seen, mostly on the late model
overdrive three or four magnetic washers inside the brass
drain plug, but they were of the flexible type, very much like
thick fridge magnet that yu get from Real Estate Agent or the
likes. You can purchase that stuff by the sheet at Staples in
various thickness, so that is what I have done in the past and
it seems to work.

the exotic metal, 'high-strength' magnets just slapped on the
outside of the plug? People sell magnet bands to go around
spin-on oil filters.<br>

to all and sundry. Ask him which he thinks is best
