Rear frost plug replacement while tranny is out?

[Kevin 007]

Doing a tranny swap in a few days. I haven't had much frost plug issue in the past and have previously just left the bellhousing frost plugs alone when having a transmission out. What are ya'll's thoughts on not messing with what's not broken, when it comes to frost plugs? I DO have an installation tool but, I still think it may be a good idea to just leave well enough alone.

If you have the proper tool and feel like doing it, then I say to go ahead. Of course the down side is having to remove the transmission again if there's an issue.

I would leave them be. If your good about coolant maintenance you shouldn't have any issues.

Unless you see signs of leakage I would leave them alone. To my knowledge, they are stainless steel and should not rust out.

Thank you for confirming my thoughts.

If they are original stainless they are best left alone.
