I am at wits end. I bought a new tranny pan from goerend for my 1996 RAM 2500 47re and installed with the supplied gasket and torqued in a star pattern to the specified torque of 10 ft pounds. Still leaked. Reinstalled with the right stuff on the pan and let cure before torquing. Still leaked. Reinstalled with gasket and the right stuff on pan and tranny. Still leaked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Are you sure it's leaking from the pan? Not running down the side from somewhere else? Where are you SEEING the leak/drip?

 

10 lbs seems low on those. I thought it was like 13 lbs. might make sure you don't have a crack in the trans. body where the pan bolts up. was the old pan and gasket leaking like this one?

 

What is the gasket made of? Never used the right stuff but it says this on the permatex site "Resistant to ATF, coolant, oil and other shop fluids". Try ultra copper, Best out there in my opinion. Never had a issue with it and it sealed better then some of the other permatex products.
