Are you wanting to replace these because the inner hex is rounded off?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone happen to know the part number for the manual transmission fill and drain plugs for an 02 C2? I found some references to the plugs for a Turbo or GT3, but not the C2.

POST 2Original post

I see the side plug in one of the illustrations here but can't seem to find the drain plug?? http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p...section=302-07

POST 3Original post

If memory serves me correct, on the 996 both the transmission drain plug and fill plug are identical. Are you wanting to replace these because the inner hex is rounded off? Just curious

They certainly look the same on the car, so hopefully they are the same. The inner hex is not yet rounded off, but it is starting to. Would rather replace the plug while I can still get it out!

POST 6Original post

Agreed. Just make sure you remove the fill plug before removing the drain plug! It's always a fun project when you drain the transmission, and then find out the fill plug can't come out...
