        There is a Lot of Heat produced when a Male Thread is Joined with Female Thread 


so They Both Expand & then when They Cool, Leaks Can Happen ~ So Most, if not All,


Thread "Seal" Materials are meant to do DoubleDuty ~ Lube durring install & Seal after


the fact ~ The Tranny Plugs are Tapered & Quite Susceptible to that Install HeatUp ~


RTV or Teflon Tape works Well ~
