Default should i replace the stock tranny pan ??

thought it would make it easier to change the fluid by swapping the stock pan for one with a drainplug... ppl have told me that the pans with drain plug will leak abit?? any input??

Put a drain plug in your pan.

I'm running a truck pan with a 7/16 nut stick welded to the side of it and plugged with a bolt. Doesn't leak.

My stock pan I brazed a cut down b&m plug in it.

I read on here someone uses a castle nut, tack welds it in the inside of the pan and uses a universal drain plug with an o-ring seal.

And when I say it doesn't leak, it doesn't even get damp or anything.

With all my afroengineering experience I don't see why a pan with a built in plug would leak. Use a Fel-Pro gasket and torque wrench.
