TCS Switch, Muncie Trans Mounted
It's leaking. I already eliminated it on the engine side. Anybody know the thread size so I can replace with it a pipe plug from the local hardware store?

I don't think it's a pipe thread - pretty sure it's straight thread and that the fitting seats/seals/bottoms out on a sealing surface to assure that the fitting is installed at a consistent and pre-set depth so the switch operates correctly inside the tranny. I could be wrong, but you better check it and verify before you screw up the threads in the tranny with a pipe plug.

Lars is right. A little more research on my part shows it is 9/16-18 straight thread. Check this out to plug the hole. https://5speeds.com/cart/index.php?r...product_id=192
