Since then and every time I reinstall them I use either Teflon plumber's tape, or a dab of "NeverSieze" on the threads. Since using the tape or NS, I only need the ratchet wrench and the socket to service the transmission (plugs).

I use ARP thread sealer, works beautifully!

There are several opinions on this but I use a very light coat of Permatex 300 Form A Gasket on both surfaces of mating parts of all assemblies in contact with oil or water (water pump, oil pan and oil filter housing assemblies). I always use a thin coat of Permatex on the Oil Pan Drain Plug, Transmission Fill and Drain Plugs and Differential Drain Plug also. This not only helps seal the plugs but also acts as a thread locker (A little less bolt torque with a good sealant). Tighten just tight enough to not leak on all drain plugs.
