| Post subject: | tranny gasket help |
I'm a bit of as old car newbie so bear with me. I have a 64 valiant with a /6 225 and a 904 automatic. I have now gone through two gaskets trying to replace the filter and oil. in both cases the gaskets I got from FRAM and Purolator had one extra hole in them. After I've seated everything and tightened firmly but not too tight transmission fluid pours right out where the extra hole is. What can I Do?? I tried gasket sealer the sceond time to plug the hole and if anything it was worse. Help Andy andy@adada.com |

(years of 904 covered) You need to get the "early" kit, it has a filter which has two oil feed holes needed for the two oil pumps the "cable" 904s have. My bet is that the correct kit will have the gasket you need. If you have no luck finding the correct kit, punch a second hole in the later filter and also make a "plug" of gasket material to fill the un-needed hole. DD |

I've had the same problem so I do the following now. I've found that the pan must be absolutely straight, no warps. As insurance, I add a small bead of silicone and let it setup for 15 minutes before bolting in place loosly. Then, I tighten after about an hour. ahtoews@shaw.ca |

I ended up doing something similar and it seems to be working OK. Thanks for the advice andy@adada.com |
