Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the transmission application before installation and match the filter to the vehicle’s original equipment part number when needed. Clean the pan and mating surfaces thoroughly, inspect the old gasket area for residue, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedure for fluid refill and level checking after installation.
