tranny filter. getting ready to do it.

i paid my dues, a couple hours bouncing around sites/youtube, and cannot just see how the filter tube plugs into the gasket/ring/???

nothing shows how to remove/replace that ring,or the position of it.

so here i am, after hours elsewhere!!...please help with a pix.

any link to a GOOD site pls.

 

I did mine a month ago, the filter just plugs into the oil passage. When you remove the original filter, just put the new one in. Its pretty simple. I installed a drain plug into my pan at the same time. Just make sure they give you the right filter.
I have the Alpha, NAPA gave me the filter it called for but it was wrong, took a little looking through their books to match up the correct one.
I just had to give the original filter a little pull and it came out, the new one just pushed up in until you feel it bottom out.

 

mine came with a new ring but who knows how it goes in. how to replace it?. does it need to be or must it be?? thats what the filter plugs into ,,,i *** ume!!

i dont like guesswork in a tranny that "so far" has been flawless!!

 

I assume you mean seal, it should go on the tube that protrudes from the filter. Its not difficult at all, the old rubber seal should come off when you remove the filer, if not you can reach it easily with a little pick and pull it out.

 

happythree, would be great if you could take some pics when you do the job. I'll be doing mine soon enough... Thanks

 

I second that comment, Happythree. Pics would be awesome. For use newbies doing our own maintanence.

 

a friend says, just see how the seal is mounted when you pull the filter. so, what if it just falls out! and i cant tell if it was up or down?

if anyone finds out , let us all know!

im waiting for warmer wx anyway.

 

Have you seen this video on YouTube?

 

so far nothing shows the seal, position, etc
he skips over the impt part of the seal replacement, if he did it at all.

 

in the downloaded version,pages 124-126 shows enuf to be understood.

i have the big thick printed books and there i "leafed"thru till i found it on

pages 17 272. this shows more clearly the direction it goes in. with the rubber down as we might figure.
actually the pix is upside down, you know.
still trying to post pix.

many pages of data hidden and hard to find.

i have a pix of 17 272 but cannot get on this comp?? ill try more. sorry just cant do it
