there is a long one and a short one.
Which would be used for which?

I wouldn't bother about the tranny bolt personally. Reason being is that the tranny already has a magnet in it to attract metal shavings.

Just get one for your sump.......that's all you need :

Yeah Wyn, but they come as a pair. Why not put it in next tranny-fluid change? Plus, my Tranny bolt in the Type'R' wasn't Magnetic.

Agreed. But its not something you would have to clean all the time........unless one of your bearings blew up or you can't drive for shit and keep grinding the gears!
