Exclamation 88NA Transmission drain plug

While inspecting my vehicle, I've noticed that the previous owner left me with a missing oil drain plug
for the intermediate housing of the manual transmission, and that oil leaked all over the underside
of that are of the housing


Now I've done extensive amount of research online for a possible replacement and have not come across
an easily accessible way to get one, or the know how. Also loooking into having a custom made one but I have no real idea what it is I'm looking for.

I read on the forum and other sites that the drain plug in question is 22mm - 24mm in size.

This has been an ongoing issue for a couple months now and have not been able to drive the car
at high speed due to the lack of cooling and lubrication for the tranny.


What is the exact TPI size, diameter, component for the [drain plug] and where can I get one?\


I've contemplated on straight up buying a new transmission altogether but dishing out

$190-$300 on something used is not optimal.

The FILL plugs are on the side.
The DRAIN plug is on the Bottom.

You now have access to the Classifieds so maybe a member has a spare broken up trans that would have a plug for ya.
