Guys,

I pulled the transmission pan for a fluid/filter change and also to install a new Ragusa trans pan. See below what I found on the bottom of the pan. No metal found expect these few pieces. Any concern with this? Transmission was rebuilt 12K miles ago. No issues driving, shifts fine.

Jon:

In all my years of doing transmission services, I would consider the material I see in that pan as normal and benign and nothing to be concerned about. I would clean out the pan, put a new fiter, new gasget, and button her up.

I see you want to install a Ragusa Pan.

Can you please do me a favor while you have that pan off?? Inspect the Transmission side that the pan bolts to and take a few pictures if you can.

Follow this thread and read what is there to get me some information.

I want to know if any of the bolt holes go through the aluminium of the transmission case. The topic is also pertinant to your Cast Aluminum Pan installation.


Thanks a million !!!!

Hi John,

Sorry I posted my question after I had already finished installing the pan and serviced. Although this morning I noticed a stain underneath the coach and I see that it is leaking but it seems to be coming from the drain plug.
