My tranny pan is leaking like a ****. Wondering what gaskets you guys go with?

 

I usually get the set from AutoZone. Comes with two gaskets, one of which won't work (for a different style) and comes with a filter. Works well I think.

 

Get mine from O'Reillys, make sure your pan is flat. They tend to distort where the bolts go through.

 

+1 on the dimpled bolt holes, tap them flat with a small hammer, and torq bolts to spec. Finally learned this after too many years of shade tree wrenching

 

Awesome tip guys, I wouldn't have even thought to do that.

 

Clean the pan really well where the gasket goes to make sure it seals good if not you could get another leak

 

Pan bolts only require 13ft lbs, not much.

 

Use the reusable rubber gasket with the metal inserts around the bolt holes that prevent you from over torquing the pan bolts. Uses no RTV or sealer of any kind. A little more expensive up from but can be used over and over. My tranny has had one from the first fluid/filter change and has been changed 3 times since. Still sealing tight as a drum with no leaks.

 

Where did you get that kit?

 

My tranny man had it on his shelf but can be bought at about any parts store.
