IMPORTANT
When you install drain plug, pay attention not to break
screw tread of transmission case. Transmission case
is made of aluminum. Case itself has enough
strength for normal works, but if you put a bolt
improperly, screw tread is sometime broken easily.
To install drain plug, screw the drain plug by hand first
and when most of tread get in, tighten it by a wrench
finally.
