Transmission Pan Gasket?
A simple question.
I'm leaking ATF badly around my Transmission Pan. I believe that when I had the transmission serviced recently, they used an inferior quality pan gasket. Is there a certain brand of aftermarket gasket that I should be using, or should I buy this item directly from the dealership? Cheers, Mike

Re: Transmission Pan Gasket?

Re: Transmission Pan Gasket?
I remember changing the internal transmission screen filter and a pan gasket was included. The gasket was folded up in the box with the filter. Needless to say we reused the stock gasket...that one doesn't fold.

Re: Transmission Pan Gasket?
I got the screen filter/gasket kit from local advance autoparts store but bought a new OEM gasket. Comes unfolded and is actually rubber unlike the cork junk from the auto parts store.

Re: Transmission Pan Gasket?
I dont know why but some dealers like to use that red RTV stuff. I'm not a big fan of gasket maker because it can be a pain to scrape off.

Re: Transmission Pan Gasket?
There are two gaskets listed at subaru for the 4eat. One is cork and the other is a cardboard like material. I like the cardboard like one better. Also, you have to be careful that the bolt holes in the pan don't get pulled, if they do then the bolts will be tight but the area between the bolt holes won't compress the gasket
