Yes, don't forget about the one in the back of the engine, if you ever have
the transmission down for ANY reason, replace the freezeplug in the back of
the engine! Murphy's Law makes it a certain fact, that if you don't change
that one freeze plug while you got the tranny out of your way, it will fail
within a week or two, sometimes sooner, once you slip the transmission back
up in place. Also, it's a good opportunity to drag a bunch of gak and dirt
out of the coolant passage with a screwdriver, crud tends to accumulate
there, helping the freeze plug to corrode. Brass freeze plugs are a good
investment as well.
