[Mgs] Trans drain plug leak

[Ron Engelhardt]

If the threads are buggered, most auto supply places sell rubber
(neoprene?) squeeze plugs usually used for oil pans that should stop the
leak. It has rubber between metal plates and when tightened the rubber
bulges out to seal. I've never had to use one but I know people who have
with success.
