ATF and Filter job queston

Kevin, I don't have an answer for you, but for future reference, be aware that Chrysler has an alternate metal gasket to use instead of the special RTV. I have heard no complaints of problems with those - used one myself on my Concorde with no problem. You might prefer the metal gasket in the future (less mess, re-usable, etc.)

Thanks for the tip. I wish I had known that about 12 hours ago!

I had to make an emergency run to the dealer this morning as I discovered to my dismay that I had the wrong filter/gasket kit AND the wrong ATF. They just gave me a tube of the rtv. I had to do the job with much haste and, as a result, ended up with a leak. I just finished re-gooping the pan and tightened it down. I won't add fluid until morning. It looks like there is not much contact between the pan and tran. case in the trailing left corner.
