I run a transmission business and i used to get alot of calls on the factory shipping plug laying in pan so don't feel like too much of a fool BH,on the assembly line they knock it into pan as trans dipstick is installed. Iv'e even had mechanics at general repair shops say they looked and looked trying to figure out where the heck it goes,Smitty
