New pipe plug (to replace transmission drain plug)
Thinking this is to be expected given that the threads on the original 737-0177 plug were likely worn down? Just wondering though and don't want to strip anything.
The original plug went in nearly all the way - perhaps only 2/16" remaining at the end of the plug. This new one - which is slightly longer - is only going in partway but gets tight. Leave well enough alone? I probably had the habit of overtightening the old one - typically would give it a few taps with a hammer after tightening with a ratchet so probably over the years I'm thinking I kept driving it in farther and farther. Overly paranoid about it coming loose I guess...
