Transmission plugs

[G]

What are these things called? Plugs, caps? Rubber, silicone? Where can i buy these specifically for the axle outputs.

Everyone will call it something else. Plug or cap though.

What do you need it for? storage, shipping? I usually just find something that fits in the hole and put it in.

Looks like they are plastic. My first guess of a good source would be McMaster-Carr

Search for plastic caps or plastic plugs.

Many sizes made by a company called "Caplugs".

I have handfuls of them from working on hydraulics. If you have a local hose/fitting shop, measure up what you need and see if they'll give you some. They come on almost all fittings, and most of them just get thrown out.

I just need 4 that are the size of our axle output openings.

The Mitsubishi FSM (volume one) lists the plugs for both the transmission and transfercase. It also lists the part number too.

Yeah? What page? What's the part # ?

The plug part no is MB991193 and is located at the very top of pg 22-17.

I see it, but it's for the transfer case? I wonder if they will work for the transmission?

It says "Prevention of entry of foreign objects into the transaxle and transfer." Am I misunderstanding the term transaxle here? I thought that's where the cv axle shafts goes into. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
