I was in the process of changing trans fluid and when I was replacing drain plug it would not tighten all the way. I took it back out and noticed that threre was metal from the threads of the oil pan. This is the 2nd time I changed the fluid and Im sure I didnt overtighten them the first time and the plug came out with normal force this time. The plug will go in all the way untill I get to the last turn and it just will keep turning. Does anyone have any ideas to resolve this other than the worst case senerio that is replacing the pan? This would be bad because it looks like the plug is built into the trans housing and the right rear axle housing.
