Question
What is the size or kind of plug(s) used for the 1987 Nissan Sentra 1.6L Manual Trans SOC? THey need to be replaced and I've no clue how to identify them.
Matthew,
No Auto Parts Store is going to have any information about transmission drain plugs. You will have to go back to Nissan. IF the part is no longer available, they should be able to give you the thread pitch. IF they cannot do that, you can take the drain plug to ANY parts store worth it's salt and they should be able to match it. IF this all fails, get me the Original Nissan part number and maybe I can find you an exact replacement OR tell you where you can go to get it.
I hope this helps and keep in touch.

| Comment | Thanks for the information, or rather, the explanation. I'll see about contacting Nissan about this, or possibly visiting some local junker places to see if they have any 87 to 92 Sentras and get their transmission plugs. If I cant find anything I'll see about the parts number and hit you up straight away! Again, thanks. I went through multiple repair manuals and guides and googled my brains out before coming back here to ask a question. You were right quick in replying so I fully appreciate that! | ||

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
