• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Are both of the 1330's Oil Drain Plugs the same size?

Does anyone know the thread pitch on the Transmission side drain hole on the 1330 engine? I was told that it is 1.25. But I saw a reference to a gold plug that was the correct size 12MM but the thread pitch was 1.5. I am looking to replace the OEM plug with a Gold Plug but Gold plug seems to have only the engine side plug.

M12 X 1.5 according to the parts list for MY 2014 SE6, and BRP has not changed the size. Find it in the fiche for Clutch Cover.

How much metal on you picking up on the oil tank versus the trans plug with the magnetic plugs on the 1330? I know the stock trans plug has a magnet on it from stock

I had very little on the OEM trans plug magnet when changed at 2K. Swiped with a rag and it was clean. Personally, I can see no reason to change that one.
 
The whole issue probably never would have arisen if BRP had specified the same type of plug, Torx or Allen, for both plugs. OTOH, a manufacturer is well within its rights to expect DIYers will check to see what type of bit is required before stuffing a bit in a hole they do not carefully examine beforehand.
