I just finished changing filter and fluid on my trany , put all my tools away and was cleaning up when I looked in package box and seen wedged in the bottom the filter gasket that i never changed. i was furious with myself for not checking and knew i would have to redo entire job or it would eat away at me . Half day later im glad as the original gasket was brittle and falling apart and sludge build up in bottom of pan made me realize this was timely. My advice CHECK packaging FOR LITTLE THINGS BEFORE YOU START JOBS.

I can so relate.

Yesterday I did the trans fluid and filter change on my Pontiac Bonneville. I was getting ready to pour the new fluid in when I noticed the magnet from the pan stuck to one of my extension bars.

Such is life!
