Drain plug missing- can’t find it in parts list

[Ec4fish]

I have a missing drain plug on the flywheel housing. I don’t see it mentioned in parts list. Can this be replaced by something from an auto parts store? If so dimensions and threads?

Better yet, it is just a pipe plug and you would want to probably leave it out so that the housing can drain. You can get a replacement at Home Depot, Lowes or Ace Hardware. Nothing special, and that's a good thing.

... want to probably leave it out so that the housing can drain...

Because we all have weeping rear main seals...

So that’s something that’s not supposed to be there? And I’m a bale to see the wheel and everything?

You only put the plug in if you are fording a river. It is supposed to keep water out of the clutch.

I've never had one for mine, and I sure wouldn't mount one unless I: 1. Was fording deep water. 2. Wanted a motorcycle-style wet clutch.

Since I don't ever intend to go deep-water fording, I'm not going to worry about having one of those plugs handy.

Same here on all accounts. I checked, there is not one in the glove box
