Detailed Description

This Elring transmission oil pan gasket is engineered for service on Ford and Lincoln rear-wheel-drive and truck/SUV applications using the 6R-series transmission family. The metal elastomer construction helps maintain a consistent seal at the transmission pan rail, while the ACM material is suited to the heat and fluid exposure common in automatic transmission service.

This part cross-references MAHLE W32828 for the same application.
