Any reasons why I should not use the WIX tranny filters / gasket kit? WIX Filters, 545RFE, external, internal and gasket $32.40 pN 58843 (rockauto) GAsket instead of RTV for tranny pan seal ? Any suggestions? |

I heard RTV is the way to go, I guess the gasket slips during installation. Wix has a great reputation. How about these guys: http://www.bulkpart.com/Merchant2/merch ... 5RFEfilter |

I used the filters from napa they cost around $27 with the new gasket. I thought the gasket was great because all the pan bolts kept the gasket in place while being held up to the bottom of the transmission then I just had to hand turn them to get them started, working from the center out to the edges. It was very easy. |

Thanks guys, Looks like there are some better deals out there for filters than I got. The dealer uses RTV.... I just like the tidyness of the gasket I guess. |

NAPA sells Wix filters with their name on them. O'Reily Auto Parts sells Wix too. |

NAPA Gold is Wix. Check with fleetfilter.com. You can get great prices and 15% off if you order $125 at a time. They also have fuel filters for the CRD. Lewis |

oreilly stocks the wix fuel filters too. make sure the filter kit comes with the normal flat filter and the spin on filter. When I did ours a few months ago i bought the filter kit and got into it and found the spin on filter inside too. nobody had it so I just did the flat filter and put it back together with rtv. I also installed a drain plug in the pan for next time. |
