Who Makes Magnetic Transmission Plug?

I found a link over at Evasive Motorsports, but can't open there site. There must be another supplier out there.

My trans schematics actually show a magnet in the trans. I have not had a magnetic drain plug in a trans for several years, but you might be right. I will find out soon.

Sometimes autos have magnets inside the pan. My Landrover Discovery II did.

Yep, the Yaris auto tranny has 2 magnets in the pan. I don't know if the drain plug has a magnet too.
