Gearbox Sump Plug Washer - Quick Question

[Jimbob 2705]

Can you use the same washer on the gearbox sump plug as the one on the engine oil sump plug? (Metal with rubber insert)

I've heard people use a copper washer, but was wondering if I could use a metal washer with the rubber insert.

Basically left or right washer for the gearbox sump plug!

Cheers, James

The right one, gearbox sump needs a copper crush washer.

Damn, that rules out doing it tomorrow then!

Meh, just use the old one and nip it up. Gearbox isn't under any pressure..

My local place only stock 2 or 3 sizes so I guess there aren't many options.
I never know what size I need so just buy several of each size, only costs a quid anyway.
