I am installing a Tranny cooler... I got the fittings to fit the drain and fill plug .
Everything was going fine until I got under the car. The Throttle linkage for the 6
blocks the drain plug. So I was going to tap the case next to the plug and insert the fitting there.
My only apprehension is the case in that area has a slight bevel where I want to tap it...
Any ideas or other suggestions.

That is a rather large fitting for transmission cooling.. you may have a problem with tappin into that arear of the transmission.. a gear cluster lives near there..

get a smaller fitting, and tap the case on the other side of the drain

yes on the other side of the case. the drain on the 914 tranny is passenger side.. take your oil from the drivers side.. if you are in the same plane as the drainplug, you wont have to worry about interference with gears etc..

This is how I did mine if it helps I am using a different throttle bracket which dosen't interfer.
I used the fill and drain plugs by tapping an 8AN fittings into them.

can you tap the plug itself? or use an angled (45 or 90) fitting?

I know its hard to see but the bottom fitting going into the lower drain plug is a 45 8AN to 3/8 pipe thread fitting.
8AN I am sure is big enough for a trans cooler the pump sucks it through like a shop vac.

You may also want to check the case thickness before you drill.
Be sure whatever size tap your using can cut enough threads to seal well.
Might be better to change your throttle linkage. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
