Hello the camp

I just drained the oil from my GT6's gearbox, and now the drain plug
won't go in all the way.  The male & female threads appear clean and
undamaged, and for all I know it wasn't fully seated when I first
went to remove it-- I didn't notice.

Anyhow, I can't get it fully seated now-- about two threads still
show, and I can't see any reason for the interference.  Is this just
the way the threads are?  And no, I haven't refilled with oil to check
for a leak.

TIA, as ever!
