Shifter plug
Wondering where shifter plug is located. I think it may be the one next to lower drain plug, is that correct?

Re: Shifter plug
Shifter plug? Are you talking about the reverse fork shaft? The plug you are NOT supposed to take out? If that is the one then it is a couple inches above the transmission oil fill. On all but the early transmissions it has a different type of plug and the standard plug wrench does not fit it.

No not the one by the fill plug. The one on the bottom by the drain plug. I understand that the shifter plug has a spring and a ball behind it. Someone recommended checking it for sludge.

Re: Shifter plug
There is nothing in the bottom of the transmission that moves on a detent. The only thing I can think they are talking about is the transfer shifter and access to that is through the plate on the lower side. If you have sludge in a transmission then you have serious issues that are not going to be solved by local cleaning. Any sludge would come out the two drains on the bottom.
