I'm looking for the location of the flywheel drain plug on my 96'. Haynes says it should be drained of there is a plug fitted to it - but I can't even find where it is under the truck (read; 'mechanically challenged').
Where is the Flywheel housing anyways?
thanks |

Is this a manual or automatic transmission? Why are you looking for the flywheel drain plug anyway? |

It's an automatic. Haynes says it should be drained periodically if there is no plug fitted to it - and I can't even find it! |

oops - I meant if there IS a plug fitted, it should be drained. |

Stephen,
The flywheel drain-plug is a "wading plug" that is fit to manual transmissions if it is foreseen that you will be wading. Automatic transmissions don't have them.
FWIW...

Ohhhhhh - that would be why I can't find the thing - I feel like such a tool. Thanks for helping me out.
