Hello All,
1991 Spider Veloce.
I am in the process of rebuilding my transmission.
One of the "while I am in there" items I am going to do is replace the gear box case, upper and lower, as my fill plug has always been stripped. DPO! >
So, I went to my local retired Alfa shop mechanic who has so many parts on shelves.
When we finally found a case that would work, it happen to have tapered fill and drain plugs.
For some reason, I feel uncomfortable using the case and the plugs. The case threads are also tapered. Maybe because they are different, maybe because Alfa changed their design, I don't know.
So, what do you think? Go ahead and not worry about it or find another case?
As always, thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Vin
