Just did my 2nd ever ATF fluid and filter change on my 2001 F250 7.3 with 273k. I bought a filter at NAPA and the kit had a gasket in it. I used the gasket that came with the filter for the transmission pan. Once I was done I saw a note it the box that said to only use the gasket that came with the kit on the 1989-1995 vehicles and that 1996 gaskets are reusable.


The pan isn't leaking and I still have the OEM gasket. Should I drain the pan and change the gasket back to OEM or just run with what I did?

If it isn't leaking leave it alone. Save the original gasket for when it does start to leak.

That's kind of what I was thinking. If there isn't any great reason to change it, I will just leave it as is.

My trans started leaking soon after I used the cork/paper Gasket from Napa.

Save the oem

And that's what I'd expect. The aftermarket gaskets do not fit.

Well heck. I'll just watch it I guess. Not the end of the world to drain the pan and change it back if I have to. Thanks!
