MB837567 (5 speed fill and drain crush washer)

[steve]

Aftermarket replacement?

I discovered a cut down plastic washer on the trans drain and nothing on the fill plug.
Any sources other than the dealer for a substitution crush washer?

Check a parts store they just have washers in the help section, otherwise just stick with the OEM ones they dont cost much at all.

It's not the price, few dealerships carry VR4/TT specific parts anymore and ordering them doesn't work when you need them today.

I measured the one that I had and it's 24mm OD x 18.25mm ID and about 1mm thick aluminum and from the searches I've done a common size not that the AP stores are going to carry them. I'll look while I'm out picking up a new alternator for the DSM.

No luck at Autozone and Advance Auto. NAPA was closed.

I often use copper washers in places like this. Don't know how "right" that is, but I haven't had a problem.
