I did another transmission oil pan change - back to the nice cast aluminum version I had on it. The tin one that I put on to attempt to stop an earlier oil leak - within the month started leaking, and lots. Every bolt hole was distorted by up to 1/8" - and the bolts never had more then 12 lb ft of torque (spec is 12-16). The cork gasket was allowing ATF by and it was easy to see where. As I said in another thread, I was waiting on new bolts - flanged, as well as some sealing washers as the original bolts supplied were common grade 2, found anywhere. I HOPE this is the last time, but history with this transmission says not a chance.
