Bungs are basically plugs. They seal up openings – specifically, unused ports or holes in your gearbox, or sometimes in other drivetrain components. They prevent oil leaks and keep contaminants like dirt and water from getting into the system. They come in a few different sizes and thread types, so getting the right one for your gearbox is key. Think of your gearbox as a pretty complex system full of moving parts swimming in oil. Those ports where bungs go? Those are places where things could leak out, or where gunk could get in and mess everything up. The bung’s job is to just…close those off. It’s a sealing point. It doesn’t actively do anything while you’re driving, but it's essential for protecting everything else. Honestly, a small leak in your gearbox can lead to big problems down the road. Gear oil is expensive, of course, but more importantly, losing oil means less lubrication, which means parts wearing out faster. And getting dirt or water inside… well, that’s just a recipe for damage. You’ll notice if you’ve lost a bung because you’ll start seeing oil where you shouldn’t. They’re cheap insurance, really. You can find a good selection of bungs at places like Fixparts Online, and it’s worth checking to make sure you have the right size and thread. They're easy to swap out if you find one’s gone bad. Reliable performance guaranteed: Bungs (MPN 019301115) has a 12-month warranty!
