Leak free transmission pan seal 88-99 Chevy 1500

[@jimbetts5164]

Chimming in with everyone and the disclaimer of being aware this video is a year old as I write my reply, I only wanted to add that when tightning the pan bolts you want to tighten a bolt than the one across the pan back and forth starting in the center working out ward and torque in 2 steps 3 if the value was 30ft/lbs and greater. After 50 miles when transmission is still warm retorque the bolts and checking for any leaks. That's it, good job!

I just resealed my 1991 GMC oil pan and trans pan using blue fel- pro , once it was warmed up I retorque them and put teflon sealer on the trans drain bolt , NO LEAKS !! never liked cork gaskets , back in the day you had to soak the cork in water to soften before installing they were so dry , silicone gaskets saved the day again .

I had a aftermarket gasket leak on me recently, but it was on a 91 Buick Lesabre Custom. The aftermatket gasket/filter had to be ordered, and came in a older box with some faded areas. I never had a problem with rubber transmission pan gaskets before, so i wasn't worried about the old looking box it came in. However, after i installed the gasket and filter and torqued everything up on the pan, the transmission gasket leaked near 2 screws. That really let me down! Everything was torqued up properly, in accordance with my car repair manual. So, a few days later i removed the transmission pan again, and the filter was ok but the transmission rubber gasket had split at 1 screw from the inside area of transmission to the ouside area of the trans pan. So, i decided to go to Advance Auto and order a (Felpro) brand of transmission gasket, since i never have had a Felpro brand of gasket leak on me regardless of vehicle or engine. So, after installing the Felpro transmission gasket and torqued everything up, no leaks at all. The Felpro brand of transmission pan gasket i bought was a composite type, maybe composed of paper with like a rubberized coating. With older vehicles be careful of the transmission gaskets you buy for them, because you don't know how long those gaskets have been sitting on the shelf. Felpro gaskets got me through this time, and they aren't expensive and are of very good performance quality.

I know you did this video awhile ago but I just have to say that I hate, absolutely hate doing something and then have to redo it. I feel like I wasted my time and of course the fact that I have to spend more money such as fluids. Anyway great job and thank you for sharing your good and bad news.

[@leeisenberg]

Nice work man. Thanks for sharing. - take care

[@arthurmumford3634]

Question, are the new pan bolts longer than the stock ones because of that thicker flange or are they the same length?

[@battheman777]

I thought the gasket you put on the first time was blue and was a firm rubber not cork paper.

[@AuzzAustin]

This was a different SUV

[@Tonyandcrew]

Where do the 2 longer bolts go?

[@cj8172]

Man on my 1995 C1500 the rear trans pan bolts are hidden by the cross member, real pain in the ass. I'm not sure why GM did it like that on the 95 truck.

[@SuburbanRanch]

@Cj Yeah they can be tough to get at.

[@kgbreviews35]

So the problem was with the pan, not the gasket from the last video?

[@SuburbanRanch]

Maybe. Probably both. This is the combo we recommend.

[@kgbreviews35]

Well based on your last video. I just wasted my money on two of those gaskets. I would update in the comment section. That people should ignore that video if your going to keep it up. It migt save someone a transmission rebuild.. ​@SuburbanRanch

[@MrRoy-rb1je]

Exceptional

[@kgbreviews35]

Does this gasket require sealant

[@SuburbanRanch]

No

[@stephenmorris8187]

Would you happen to know if the engine oil dipstick tube needs an o-ring on a 98 tahoe? I pulled my dipstick tube after removing my oil pan to replace the pan gasket and don't recall finding an o-ring for the tube after removing it. The Haynes manual doesn't mention anything about the tube...

[@SuburbanRanch]

@Stephen Morris I don’t know for sure but I would say there should be an o-ring or seal that goes in there.

[@sweak2254]

Hello. I have this pan and am looking to install soon. In the instructions it states "be sure to put the seal back into the pump if it comes out with the pick-up tube." Does that only apply to the 4l60e since the 700r4 uses those O-rings? I saw that you used your old (new) filter with the seal on the filter so was wondering.

[@jasongoodberlet]

I'm in the same situation. I have a 700R4. It makes it seem like you use the old seal plus two new orings. However my kit only came with one o ring

[@adamwade6183]

Hi, so you applied the grease on the pan before and after you placed the pan gasket on it?

[@kevinbelport4926]

What’s the difference between a deep so and regular sump? Does it matter on a stock engine

[@SuburbanRanch]

@Kevin Belport Deep sump holds more oil which helps keep the temperature down. Probably not really needed if you aren’t towing.

[@terrellebreedlove3586]

I know it's been a quite awhile but how'd this pan and gasket setup hold up? Any leaks?

[@SuburbanRanch]

@terrelle breedlove No leaks!

[@ChristianDeHadleigh]

Do you use the longer filter extension

[@SuburbanRanch]

@Christian Hadleigh Depends on the transmission, that pan fits a wide range. For our transmission we used the longer extension.

[@sergiochavira8]

nice vid bro ? you add a longer dipstick ?

[@SuburbanRanch]

@Sergio Chavira No need for a longer dipstick, the pan is deeper but the oil level when full is the same.

[@sergiochavira8]

@@SuburbanRanch nice thank you bro 4 ur time answer me i have 1997 tahoe so alot of thing are same most of it so thanks you have a new sub see u around bro🤙🤙🤙 exelent videos i just see the vid of the suspensiion i just change my it was kind hard first time haha and i see ur vid lot easer with ur vid but got it done 😅😅 2 month later but done ok apreciate to answer me that my next update 🖐🤙👊

[@lleonardo2880]

Great vid my dude! I’m actually in the process of changing mine for my 64 impala. Can you provide me the pan model that you got. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@SuburbanRanch]

@lloyd oliver leonardo Thanks man. All the parts numbers should be in the description of the video.

[@joshbyers9763]

The previous video you used the moroso gasket but it didn't show it on this video. Assuming when you were fighting the leak you threw it out. Would you suggest moroso with this pan or the felpro and this pan?

[@SuburbanRanch]

@Josh Byers Felpro and this pan! The Moroso was a bust.

[@Mohammed-uz1sn]

Hi sir​@@SuburbanRanch

[@apolloone3048]

U didn’t use the right sequence when tightening bolts

[@SuburbanRanch]

@Apollo One We crisscross to tighten them and confirmed that we didn’t miss any with a clockwise rotation. How would you do it?

[@waltercardenas7354]

You forgot the magnet.

[@SuburbanRanch]

@Walter Cardenas Magnet won’t stick to the aluminum pan, we used a magnetic drain plug shown at 8:00.
