Gasket between upper oil pan and tranny?
« on: July 25, 2014, 10:44:43 AM »
Hello Everyone,

I recently posted a thread asking for instructions for replacing the upper oil pan. Nothing came back and I went through the process, so will try to update my post with pics for future users.

However, now that I'm putting the new pan back on I'm not sure whether is supposed to be a gasket between the upper oil pan and the tranny (specifically the left side as you are looking at the flywheel). I have circled in green the area in question on the two pics below.





Is there supposed to be a gasket here? I've searched ECS Tuning and Pelican Parts and nothing has come back that would be a match.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks!

Nope, no gasket there  8)

Real OEM is a great resource to see what parts are used in an assembly (and get the part numbers)

Thanks Wazzu!

I figured there wasn't one - reassembled accordingly. Just fingers crossed that this all works.
