Come on??? Do pan bolts really come loose or does the gasket shrink and the bolts need tightening? I would tighten and paint mark them and drive it. My bets are junk gaskets or a leak from somewhere else.




Thats what I was wondering. As the gasket compresses, then seats, it will cause the bolts to loosen up.

They do the same thing on valve cover gaskets, and hose clamps.

If I knew the answer I'd not ask the question.

I know for a fact that when changing trans fluid using the stock steel pan this doesn't happen. But with this aluminum pan the bolts need re-torquing every time I get home from taking the car out and about.

There's nothing leaking from the transmission, only from the gasket area when the bolts loosen up. I'm not making this stuff up. I'm frustrated and sick of messing with it. I'm about ready to go back to a steel pan.

BTW, it's a Fel-pro gasket.

Go to a Mopar dealer and get a factory gasket.

Call TCI and tell 'em what you're dealing with and get their recommendation...

It's their design...

Is this factory gasket going to work on a non factory aluminum pan?

I picked up the Mopar gasket #2464324AC. I'm impressed and in hopes this works. I'll let ya all know in a few days.

BTW, it cost me $26,75, but well worth it if it works!

remember....longer bolts and do not over torque them.

that gasket will not compress. just that o-ring bead compresses.

That gasket is the cats ass, wont smash from over tightening. Use some new bolts and lock washers.
When I posted that price that was from a few years ago. Figured it had to go up in price some.

I figured so. I posted it just in case someone wanted to know.

On my Duster...I have a M.P. STEEL deep pan
with the factory rigid gasket that the dealers sell. No more leaks from the pan... Shift shaft seal, that's next on the to do list!
