C5 Transmission pan?

[Hoosierman]

You can probably modify a C5 filter to work in a deep C4 pan.
Or you could cut some strap metal and make reinforcements for your pan rails and use a premium gasket.
Whatever you do, please don't use RTV- if that stuff ends up in the valve body it will suck.

RTV is a last-last-last- desperate resort for me.

On an automatic transmission it should be a never resort.

Don't tell that to Chrysler. My Grand Cherokee came factory with RTV on the pan.

Stellantis ain't Chrysler.

Stellantis ain't Chrysler.

AND Chrysler ain't Jeep, and Jeep ain't what it used to be. Hardly matters- I'm referring to my 1993 model. So if you care to hop into your DeLorean and go back to the 90's, it would be Chrysler.

That wouldn't be too bad, Lee Iacocca was still around.

This is so true and so far I'm not impressed with how the Europeans intend to "show us".

C4 gasket and retention ring came in yesterday morning, in other news! Not even two whole days following the purchase!

 

[Hoosierman]

Good news and sad news.

The good: C4 Lubelocker gasket fits the C5 pan perfectly.

The sad: The C4 reinforcement ring from JBG is definitely not a match...
