Spanish term or phrase: Tetón (caja de engranajes)
Chequear la caja de engranajes y su tetón

The context is a list of things to check in a vehicle. I have searched here and seen tetón translated as lug and also ratchet, not sure which if any of those apply here.

drain plug


Explanation:
Checking the drain plug is standard procedure in servicing any manual transmission.
A loose drain plug, or worn plug gasket, will allow lubricating oil to escape from the tranny, causing serious damage.

The drain plugs have a large, square, or hexagonal head, thus the allusion to 'teton'.
