727 transmission

Well I agree the filter extension should be used, Im using one, as long as you keep fluid level full on the dipstick, makes no difference how much fluid is under the filter. Full is full. :burnout:MT

You mean "mechanics 101"?
Who cares how deep the lake is if the fish are bitting on the surface. :D


I had issues with the deep chrome pan leaking and it turned out the mating surface for the gasket just needed to be sandblasted to get things to mesh right. Had a similar issue with the chrome Mancini water neck. Sanded down the gasket surface with a flat sanding block, put in a new gasket and have been golden ever since.

Sealing surfaces matter don't they?
I'm kind of a nut about leaks of any kind, even seeps drive me crazy to the point I will never use cork anywhere. (the **** always ends up seeping at some point)
And NEVER anything but RTV on water necks.

And this is a daily driver car so... :D
