Get a magnetic drain plug they said...
So after much reading, I purchased a Dimple Products drain plug in September for a cool $41.60, today I changed the oil at 3K (second change new car) and found this! Not too impressed to say the least.

I haven't paid much attention to it but I dont think my dimple magnetic drain plug looks like that. Did you buy it direct through them?

Are you sure you got the genuine part and not a cheap knockoff?

As previously stated that doesn’t look like a dimple plug (blue). Is the photo the stock plug? I have a magnetic Dorman on my truck. Works well
Here is the stock plug and the dimple plug when I changed mine out Ryan B.

Why would you spend that much for a $10 plug from NAPA that does the same thing, including the magnet, and is coated ...... ?

Just to be clear, I was referring to the TR6060 fill and drain plugs, which are both non-magnetic from the factory. I wasn't aware of a magnet on the manual trans, but know it's common on the drain pan on autos, so just wanted to clarify that this was done on a manual.

Thanks for that info! I wasn't aware the TR6060 had that magnet.
