ACDelco Gold TF289 Automatic Transmission Fluid Filter Kit

Great product

2001 chevy silverado 4.3 V6 shallow pan with 16 holes.this is one job you dread doing! its fairly simple and a little messy. google " 4l60e transmission and filter change" and watch some youtube for tips. here's my shadetree experience,1) latex gloves, lots of cardboard, shop towels, trash bag and oil catch pan.2) socket set, flathead, pry bar, mallet or hammer and block of wood. ramps make it a lot easier!3) i striped my drain plug, its a common problem, so this i what i did. loosen bolts and take out the bolts from 1 rear corner, let drain. when done take all bolts out except 1 middle bolt rear and 1 passenger side front. leave both loose where you can get a 1/4' clear tube in pan and siphon out the remaining oil, go in from the front drivers side. works best when tranny is WARM. takes about 1 hour for ~4.5qts in pan.4) clean inside pan with paint thinner. remove gasket with razor. small brass brush helps get gasket residue off pan.5) put gasket under something heavy and flat couple of days before install. lay gasket on clean rim start all 16 bolts, thread them up at least 1/4". install filter followed by pan. start bolts by hand using extension and had tighten. using 1 hand go in a crisscross pattern and tighten, 1 HAND! DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, you'll smash the gasket and get leaks.6) follow manual for fluid and capacity for make and model. check after driving for ~30 min, park, leave running and check fluid level. check often for a couple of days on level surface.don't be cheap on this one, i've got 190k on mine, it will be the last filter. perfect fit! i did not replace the filter seal, mine was still in great shape. i refilled 5 qts of valvoline dex/merc in my ole tranny, hell it lasted this long, why not. 07 and up will be dex 6. wally and amazon carry both.

Good

Transmission pan was leaking so I decided to fix it and this item worked out great. I changed the filter and installed the new gasket. So far no leaks and the transmission has been running well.

Although it comes in basically a white box with a AC Delco sticker, it is exactly as pictured. It is the cork type gasket (although it may be some sort of a cork looking rubber), seal and Filtran filter. I put it in a 98 Chevy S10 with a shallow pan transmission. The old seal is always difficult to get out, but once you find a way this one fits. 98 seems to have been a transition year between shallow and deep pans so make sure you're buying the right one.

94 K1500 Shallow Pan Transmission 4L60EOne comment is the seal that the transmission filter tube goes into. It can be a real issue to remove from the transmission. After some research and discussion I concluded it is not necessary to remove it, just take the new seal and put it aside and install the new filter into the already installed seal in the transmission. Pops right into place.Torque the bolts to the recommended torque, criss cross pattern. Pay attention to bolt length, however, mine are all the same.Easy install, no leaks.My installation did not require removing cross members or heaven forbid loosening the transfer case and lowering it.

This was not the correct transmission filter for my 2013 Chevy Silverado 6 speed transmission, 5.3 Liter engine

I used rtv and the gasket and 3000 miles now and no leaks. Replaced the filter but i dont own a torque wrench so i couldnt tighten the torque bolts in the transmission down, and i couldnt get the old transmission filter seal out so i just stuck the old filter in. I learned i can get a large hand pump and stick a tube down the transmission dip stick and suck out a quart while its running then fill back up a quart to keep trying to get my fluid fresher as i only let the trans drain, i didnt do any flushing actions anywhere, 148k and no slipping, im thinking ill refil a quart every month or so till i have to change it again, but next time im paying a mechanic because i made a huge mess.. i got a gallon and a half of fluid saved but definitely spilt a half gallon or something, i had 5 pans underneath but the trans pan fell onto and spilt all the pans halfway before i can try catch them and i had fluid down to my shoulders, it was so bad.. i used oil dry, but it's still going to get burried at the trash company instead of recycled. The things you learn haha. I wouldnt recommend doing it yourself unless youre on a tight budget
