I tried to change my manual transmission fluid yesterday when I noticed that there are crush rings on the fill and drain plugs. I called the dealer and they wanted $3 for each copper crush ring. Does anyone know the dimensions of the crush rings and if they are available at an auto parts store? My local stores didn't list the crush rings for my truck.

 

Anybody know?

 

im curious as to why it has crush rings mine has o-rings

 

mine also has o-rings

 

i get an o-ring and put some silicone on it to prevent it from cracking and drying out and put an it on the bolt

 

put grease on it and it will be fine......we use grease on the cylinder valve o-rings at work and they hold up to 360psi for years without any problems.....


just re-use the crush sleeves.....they are more than likely fine...
