I think it's metric pipe thread, only thing a search shows is BMW and there's 2 different sizes.
Best bet is to call Bill. |

Make sure if it's tapered or not

I googled it and then realized it doesn't matter, you're getting it from the dealer anyways.
But while we're there, ~70 OZ of fluid goes it in. I remember this because I wrote it on my empty bottle last time. I just picked up 3 qts of synchromesh for it. |

yea, 2.2 quarts... got it already!
I had the part number, I was just hoping the find a regular bolt to fit into the fill hole... I did get the old drain out, took about 90 minutes of prying and wacking at the damned thing... it was pretty smooshed. |

The threads into the box are fine... the plug is what took all the beating. Tested that last night...

I will take a pic of the old one... it's not about being too tight... the head was folded over by speedbumps!
I simply could not get the tool into the allen head!!! I did finally get it out, and for the moment, I am going to swap the drain and the fill. Should be a-ok. |

oh, no need, Brad! Keep it! I am just swapping them!
I can use the old drain on the fill, and the old fill on the drain.... the old fill is perfect. I will also take a bolt and JB Weld it to the head of the fill and back it with a nut, JB Weld the entire thing together... quick fix. For what I need, it will be perfect! I will worry about it in 18 months when the box goes to Bill for rebuild. Those damned things are EXPENSIVE! $30 on eBay! |
