nearest Honda dealer is:


John Hoover Honda
(434) 793-7901
4050 Riverside Dr, Danville, VA 24541


It is not under pressure, you could probably *SLIGHTLY* underfill and tape it up with racers tape (wrap tape around the entire tranny column). Note: I do not recommend this (and would not do it on my car) but it *might* work.

autozone sells a "Universal Transmission Drain Plug Kit" part number 65128 but it does not list specs. Might be special order. There is an Autozone right near the Sleep Inn.

Looked up schematics (online) and it looks like the part is :

205861 003 1 BOLT, SEALING (34MM) $8.76





Not 100% clear though because I don't have the service manual in my hands.

Thanks for all the help and advice. We are picking up the ordered one in the morning. And after the day was done I finally found Allen Haggai(sp), and he had some spares. Should be fixed in the morning and hopefully we'll have an uneventful rest of the weekend.

And for those that know times for VIR, Rene did a 2:11.6 today, in my car(PTB/TTB), his third session on the track(ever) in test/tune. The record for TTB is currently a 2:15.???.
