ATP Automotive LG-204 Reusable OE Style Automatic Transmission Oil Pan Gasket, Rubber

I never needed this because Ford made high-quality reusable gaskets from the get go but I bought it just in case. Would be totally comfortable using this

For the money it's worth it

I liked the quality of the gasket and its internal metal support which keeps you from over tightening the bolts. Even though not required, I hedged my bets against leaks by using Permatex brand “Right Stuff” 90 minute RTV on both sides of the gasket. With all surfaces perfectly clean (I use lacquer thinner), I can say that the pan is completely dry after 500 miles in Texas heat. Kudos to the manufacturer of this gasket.

I read some reviews of this transmission pan gasket before I bought it. One said that 2 of the bolt holes didn't line up. I guess that put the thought in my head and it stuck. I also thought the same thing when I tried to use it, I found 2 of the bolt holes didn't seem to align. I almost returned it when a friend mentioned to turn it over and try it. It fit perfectly. I ended up reusing the original gasket, but am keeping this one as a spare. Not sure I will need it, but I bought it with the intent of using it, and it is a quality product at a good price.

Deciding fits properly and if all bolts are tightened down in the proper sequence and according to manufacturies spec you will have no leaks from your transmission pan.

I ordered this by mistake thinking it would fit a Ford AOD transmission. Unfortunately it only fits the AODE. They are very similar but one bolt hole doesn't line up and one corner has too tight of a radius.It's really too bad, I cannot find this style of gasket for the AOD anywhere. I've battled leaks forever and was hoping I found a solution.The reason I give it 5 stars is because for an actual AODE, this is a great choice. I have a gasket of the same style on a 2001 Jeep and it has never leaked and I've had the pan off several times.

My F150 is now 12 years old and I finally got my hands on a new oil pan with drain plug built in. Since the truck is getting up there in age I decided to go ahead and replace the seal when I pulled the pan. The OEM seal is identical to this one and I've pulled the pan 3 times in the trucks life to change filters and the seal never leaked. I hope to get another 12 years from this new seal too.
