727 Fluid Level

[toolmanmike]

Wow, ya know, just seems so strange, that fluid running back UP INTO tube would be correct! I guess thats the way it works! These clowns using RTV is probably where my seepage comes from..

If you got the metal core embossed rubber gasket it's a good one. Aluminum pan or stamped steel? Steel pans need to be straight especially around the bolt holes.

The big question is... Sealant or No Sealant on the pan gasket????

What gasket?

ATF+4 is not 50w. It has the consistency closer to water. So extra pressure ??? Dexron II/ Mercon are old school fluids and not a good as DexronVI . The new fluid types do not increase pressures but have additives that have less slippage/shudder properties. ATF+4 is totally compatible with the older 727/904 trans, Just more expensive.
Fluid level stressing the pan gasket and o-ring ? Make sure to have a good/new o-ring installed. Does your dipstick have an airtight seal when it is inserted in the tube ?? So why would there be stress on the gasket. Does the weight of the extra fluid put stress on the gasket ?? These arguments make no sense when you stop and think it thru.
You can install the molded gasket dry and tighten to 115 inch lbs per the factory service manual.

Dexron VI is ATF4 I guess?
Driven Dodges all my life, I remember when ATF4 came out, just never heard the "Dexron 6" thing.

Thanks Again!!

looks like he has the good Mopar gasket in one of his pictures, post 13, picture 3. He will not need any sealant for the gasket just bolt it down and go and it is reusable to. That is what I have on my transmission.

Steel, it wasnt cheap! Seems pretty flat still, I went over it with a sanding block to get the RTV off,

Regular old cork, just like rocker covers.

That looks like one of those steel core gaskets.

Yessir, Got it from Global Trans parts, the expensive one.

I just tried a magnet to the gasket, wouldnt pick it up, but may be very thin steel in it. I beleive it DID call it steel core when I bought it.

No sealer on that gasket

that guy didn't know what he was doing, putting sealant on the type of gasket. I've been using these gasket for years and never had any problems and I've had them on and off many times
