Obviously, about 1/4 of the O-ring is just plain missing.

If I recall correctly, the O-ring was just a basic Harbor Freight O-ring from an assortment box. It should have been high temp Viton. Regardless, the broken O-ring let fluid run out of the tranny when the converter leaked down.


So, you are saying that you, or someone put in a HF "O" ring and that O ring disinigrated leaving what is pictured? I agree, in retrospect that while you (or anyone) is at it, you might as well spend the extra few pennys and put in a Viton O ring....But until now....who knew??? I would have thought that temps on that part of the trans would not be high enough to deteroriate a standard O ring....but then what do I know...

Don't beat yourself up...could be happening to me and many of the rest of us right now. Difference now is...We've been told!!

Thanks for the update.
