why not measure the depth of the hole in the transmission casting, then cut
the bolt you have to that length so it's flush with inside of case?

after all having it longer will give no benefit.

ps. i wouldn't trust it anyway. i'd helicoil it, but i'm paranoid.

Subject: A 5sp transmission question.....


 Greetings all, again, I am trying to get my loop buttoned up for duty
this season and I have a question. For some reason, the original trans
drain plug is acting stripped. I can put a different bolt in and it
snugs up perfect, but the new bolt is at least 1cm longer. My probes
with a dowel found nothing the longer bolt would contact, does anyone
know if I risk grevious injury to the tranny by fitting a longer drain
bolt?? Something I missed?
