Default Changed fluid/filter in my performabuilt

Figured it was time to freshen up some of the fluid and put a new filter in my performabuilt lvl 2 yesterday. 1st off the tranny and my yank pt4000 converter has seen some hard street abuse this summer. Not a THING in the bottom of the pan and fluid looked great so im happy about that. One thing I didnt like and I dont know if anyone else has experienced this but the drain plug in the bottom of the pan seemed to be made of some really soft material. The socket just tore it up. I had the right size on there I cant remember off the top of my head. Also the hump in the pan where the plug is setup if you were able to drain the fluid it appeared there would still be atleast 2 1/2 quarts of fluid in the pan which could make a big mess if you thought all the fluid was out of the pan when you unbolt it. Other than that im happy
