Transmission Drain Plug Question?

[jkexplorer]

I was searching for a transmission drain plug, and was wondering if anyone used a Fumoto engine oil valve for their transmission pan? Seems to me that it should work with the addition of a nut on the inside of the pan. Perhaps there are some inherent problems in this that I cannot visualize. I did find one other drain plug from Kragen's Auto Supply. The drain plug was Mr. Gasket, part No. 4470. Any comments on either item or other recommendations would be appreciated.

I could not find one on the Autozone website, but found one at Kragen's. I'll probably purchase it there. Thanks...

The Kragen plugs work great, I used RTV on mine and never had a leak, but every time I pulled the plug I got nervous about the inner nut and breaking the seal.
A fumoto would be great but major overkill IMO.
It would be cake to braze a brass insert into the OEM pan with a plug, may be a better way.
I run an oversize PML pan now with a huge drainplug, no worrys
