(1/2) > >>

denviks:
hi again all. just a quick question. is there a drain plug on a 200 disc bell housing. seems that i have a little clutch fluid inside the bell housing. i need to get it out. its not a huge amount but its there.any ideas?

Wanderer:
It's on the very bottom of the bellhousing. They are usually open unless someone has fitted wading plugs.

grrrrr...seems that the last owner has left the wadding plug in and he rounded it off while fitting it. been trying to get it out for hours now but still no luck.
gotta get it out to drain the clutch fluid out of the bell housing

Range Rover Blues:
It's corroded in because it's a steel plug in an Ali housing.  Try soaking it in WD for a few hours and try to remove it when the engine/box are hot, very hot, as Ali expands more than steel.  Also I think it's a tapered thread so you can't drill it and hope it will spin through, if you get stuck drill it oout and use a stud extractor (LH thread) to get a grip on it.
