These high quality drain plugs are designed to fit 14mm x 1.50 thread pitch applications (most Honda/Acura). Your kit may have come with one, two, or three plugs. If you ordered a kit with more than one plug, the long plug is for the engine oil drain and the short plug is for the transmission oil drain (the short transmission plug can also be used in the ATTS unit in the Type SH Prelude). We have verified that these bolts will work in all B, C, D, F, H, J, K, and L series applications as of the 2006 model year. Please contact us before using if you are not certain if these will work in your motor.

The TCI Automotive® deep aluminum pan is designed to fit the factory Ford 5R110 transmission as supplied as original equipment. However, in some applications, or because of the use of certain factory options and/or aftermarket equipment, there may be clearance problems between your TCI Automotive® pan and other vehicle components. It is the responsibility of the owner/installer to ensure that there is no contact between the pan and other moving, obstructing or fixed vehicle components. Contact with any vehicle component, or the modifying of the TCI Automotive® pan voids the warranty. TCI Automotive® assumes no liability, expressed or implied, for damage or injury to persons or property.

This document provides instructions on changing the oil and filter on a VW 1.9 TDI engines. All the pictures here are taken from my 2001 New Beetle with automatic transmission. Golfs and Jettas are slightly different from the images. And manual transmissions have a full cover on the belly pan. Automatics have a cutout on the belly pan. It exposes the transmission. There is a drain plug readily visible that a quick lube place can be confused about. I have heard stories that they remove it and a dark red fluid comes out. You do not want this to happen as you can’t drive it. You will have to have it towed to the dealership. Or you can do it yourself with instructions written by Drivbiwire to deal with it. You can find the ATF change instructions on the TDIClub.
