Additional information
This transmission case plug, part number 792074, seals an access opening in the gearbox to help retain lubricant and keep contaminants like snow, water, and dirt out of the transmission. A properly seated plug supports smooth gear operation and extends component life by maintaining proper lubrication.
If you notice fluid seeping from the transmission case, or visible gaps around the plug, the plug may be worn, incorrectly seated, or damaged. Leaks or contamination can accelerate wear on internal gears and bearings.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire or power source to prevent accidental starting. Clean the plug bore, then press or tap the new plug into place so it sits flush and seals the opening securely.
