Black Rubber
Tuesday, October 19th, 2010How important is the black rubber plug on the bell housing of a 2003 ford explorer?
I have a 2003 ford explorer and I recently had the transmission rebuilt. When I collected the truck I noticed a small amount of oil/transmission fluild around the black rubber plug on the bell housing on the transmission and upon closer examination I found that the rubber plug was damaged(it had a hole in it). Should I be concerned? Should I take the truck back for them to replace this plug?
The black plug covers inspection hole does prevent road debris and rocks from entering. the fluid could be from installation could be a concearn i would worry more about the fluid than the plug...
