Harley Softail Stripped Transmission Drainn Plug Fix!

- Transmission plug hole got stripped or cross-threaded, so I used a piggy back plug to fix it. The smaller plug comes with an o-ring on it that is worthless. Take it off and get a brake washer like the one I used. Just making the small plug hand tight would force the o-ring to deform and push out the side. Not sure why it even comes on there.
Thanks for Watching!

I can' thank you enough for posting this video. I had the same problem happen today. The dealer wanted to pull the transmission and replace the case to repair the problem. I had never heard of the piggy back plug with oversize threads before watching your video. I followed your procedure and it worked great. You are a lifesaver. Thanks again!
Really appreciate your mech smarts . Thanks for posting. You have helped a lot of folks including me. God bless ya brother! Nice scoot.
thank you for this video you help me more than u know I followed your instructions to the t it was a little hard to get the piggyback plug to start but I got it not leaks thank you
This happened to me on my 2014 HearitageSoftail I will be using this for the fix thank you for the video
Thanks for the vid. I've got same exact prob with mine yesterday. Looks like I'll be doing same exact fix.
Looks pretty good! It's a stupid place for a drain plug.
Thank you so much for the video. My crankcase threads came out and your video made this a quick garage fix saving my trip next week. Who every you are.. I owe you a beer!
Nice ride
nice instructions. dealer will always try to get you to put a new pan on. they want 1400 for the job.
78 Like excellent detail video, I have same problem last week, now I know how to fix it. Thanks for doing this..
Great job it would be nice if you could lift the bike 12+ inches. I learned to not do softail slim maintenance. Cost more in the long run.
Thank you for this video ! This happened to me yesterday on my softail, didn’t get the piggyback though, I bought this rethread kit , I’m gonna work on it tomorrow. My question is , is it easy to tap it with the shocks kinda on your way ? Thanks again
Thanks for the video. I did everything right up until the part of threading the oversized plug in. I got the Dorman single oversized and it’s way bigger than the factory plug. No way am I cranking that into the case, it’ll crack it.
How has it held up over the years? And how did you add a magnet?
If you strip out transmission plug on Gm vehicle all hope is not lost....breaker bar and Irwin bolt grip will get it done....should work for other vehicles too!!
would this work for the primary case as well?
where did you get the over sized plug from?
