You can install a drain plug in the stock steel pans. ( I believe that your aluminum has that.) I install the drain in the side. Get an engine drain plug that's the same one in your engine. Get a short jam nut for inside.. Drill the pan. Install the bolt and nut without the bolt gasket. The nut just needs to be tacked in. The gasket on the bolt will be your seal. Be very careful to position the drain. As to miss the valve body, and filter of the trans. When you change your fluid. You can only get half of that fluid out. In this way you can simply change half out every year. Then change the filter every 40, to 50,000 miles. Fluids CHEEP. Transmissions aren't. Only reinstall the same type of fluid that's already in there. Bob Dunahugh
