As far as I can tell, no such animal exists for a TCM? Anyone aware?

I am guessing the clearance between the bottom of the oil pan and the crank is too close anyway, unless the magnet is recessed?
 
The 0-200 has a kidney shaped tank, which most owners drop a cow magnet into.
The 0-300 has about 5-6" below the crank & cam so there is no problem there.
the 0-470 and up not so much but still plenty of Room for a sump plug type magnet.
many owners are now buying the magnetic cuff that goes around the oil filter.
and some filters have a built in magnet.
