That's a no brainer. Edited March 22, 2021 by haydendavid380 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That will be an added $60 to get a new one, not sure on a used price. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since that's the case if its been missing for a while you might want to check the drain plug on the bottom of the transmission. It may have rubbed on it for so long you may not be able to get it off. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
