After the new filter was installed i cleaned my pan and gasket surfaces to like new condition, made sure the pan was flat and installed a cork gasket dry to 95 in/lbs. The book calls for 150 in/lbs but 95 felt plenty tight for a tranny pan.


After that I plugged up any holes and got to work cleaning the case from head to toe. I used Lacquer Thinner to get the surface clean, then primed and painted with high temp engine paint.

Hopefully everything works ok when it goes in the car!
