				| You only need to drill a hole for the drain plug/sensor. The fitting then goes through from the inside and tightens down on a gasket. |

				Mine needed a bung welded in. It was a Sport Comp gauge. Yes, put it in the TRANSMISSION OIL PAN. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

				| I would weld it. Not worth the chance of a leak. Just my two cents. |
