I have owned over 100 cars and probably have had my hands in 200ish automatic transmissions and it just depends on the gasket company. For example the rubberish fram gaskets grab the bolt thread but the cork fram generally do not. Those awesome blue gaskets that I believe are made from silicone I have seen go both ways. It really just depends on the manufacturer. Since I have moved ro buying stuff from rock auto mainly I have came across all sorts of brands and some are real high quality and others are not and price doesn't seem to necessarily reflect the quality.

My first car was a 1973 Chrevrolet Malibu with a 350 mated to a 350 Turbo Hydramatic transmission (bitchin' name, good job GM marketing!) It was my grandmother's car, and when I bought it from her in 1985 for the token amount of $200, it had all of 48K miles on it. However, it had been parked outside in Texas for years, the paint was faded the vinyl top was cracked and the seats and plastic fantastic interior was all cracked faded and rotten. GM quality for ya right there. Anyhoo - funny thing about the 350 Turbo transmissions from that generation: They had a design flaw and the 2nd gear band tends to strip out around 60K miles. When that happens you lose 2nd gear and the car then shifts from low to high: Your 3 speed is now a 2 speed. Coincidentally, I had a B&M shift kit I had been meaning to install on the car but it was way too intimidating a job for a 16 year old kid to do in the driveway. Had I installed it and then the design flaw had reared its ugly head I would be telling everyone to this day all about how a B&M shift kit will destroy your transmission. As it was, I got it repaired and had the transmission shop install the kit for me. I had them set the full throttle shift for 5K RPM (as it had been from the factory.) The car would scratch the tires going into 2nd. Fun times.

I gave this five stars despite using a different technique. If you are installing an old Brit or American cork gasket, I would recommend using Hylomar on the pan side and Loctite 515 or 518 on the motor side of the gasket. The super glue works for him and I have never tried that. My method seals some pretty crude cork gaskets, and when you pull the gasket off, the Loctite stays with the gasket. Priceless. This is also the old school high dollar method used on older aircraft. If you are installing a rubber gasket maybe his way works better.

The bolt holes in the gasket are designed slightly smaller than the bolt diameter so you can use the bolts as alignment pins to hold the gasket in place with no adhesives never use sealants on trans pans the sealant can over time break off a small piece on the inside and get jammed up in the valve body I learned this back in auto mechanic trade school.

I have always used super tacky red gasket adhesive on my pan gasket. Way back when, I used thread to tie though each hole . Then after getting the bolt started I could snip the thread and pull. My first attempt installing a pan gasket was using the black sealant and the gasket would roll up and curl. Super glue is the new wonder stuff. I had to replace too many cork gaskets simply because they would spin from the bolt and rip the gasket causing a leak, then you had to start all over again with a new gasket. I learned how to take it easy on the gasket after that.

Working on couple different cars. One oil pan bolt was extremely difficult to remove and even more difficult to install. That one bolt was above a steel member with no room for a short socket. Had to grind off a large portion to make the socket shorter and thinner to fit just catching that bolt at an angle. Install is another problem, since that bolt was fully out there is no room for the modified socket to fit no matter how short. Couple hours of cursing dropping that blot more than a dozen times, kid you not, then add insult to injury they send me the wrong gasket and filter. Working on another car, oil pan was glued in, won't budge using a mallet and prybar. What fun working on my back outside, 105° F. Always something, always a challenge. Super glue trick is pretty good, not sure I have the courage jacking up the engine.

Some remarks: removing the Gasket should be done in moves parallel to the pan edges with Sanding paper. There is always the danger that oil is leaking because of scratches connecting the inner edge with the outer. ALso, if you overtighten the Pan it happens that the pan is disformed. The screw will bulge in the sealing surface and afterwards you´ll have leakes between the mounting holes. Otherwise: good explanation, well done.

I usually extract the fluid through the dipstick tube before removing the pan. It helps if the fluid is warmed by driving.
