    Probably locates something inside the gearbox.

    The 17mm hex is the drain plug

    We had a bloke in last week, with a detent spring and plunger in his hand.

    Was absolutely adament he'd undone the right plug to drain the oil out of his motorcycle even though he's lost all gears since.

    Couldn't talk any sense into him and gave up trying in the end!
