ACDelco Gold TF289 Automatic Transmission Fluid Filter Kit

Transmission pan was leaking so I decided to fix it and this item worked out great. I changed the filter and installed the new gasket. So far no leaks and the transmission has been running well.

2001 chevy silverado 4.3 V6 shallow pan with 16 holes.this is one job you dread doing! its fairly simple and a little messy. google " 4l60e transmission and filter change" and watch some youtube for tips. here's my shadetree experience,1) latex gloves, lots of cardboard, shop towels, trash bag and oil catch pan.2) socket set, flathead, pry bar, mallet or hammer and block of wood. ramps make it a lot easier!3) i striped my drain plug, its a common problem, so this i what i did. loosen bolts and take out the bolts from 1 rear corner, let drain. when done take all bolts out except 1 middle bolt rear and 1 passenger side front. leave both loose where you can get a 1/4' clear tube in pan and siphon out the remaining oil, go in from the front drivers side. works best when tranny is WARM. takes about 1 hour for ~4.5qts in pan.4) clean inside pan with paint thinner. remove gasket with razor. small brass brush helps get gasket residue off pan.5) put gasket under something heavy and flat couple of days before install. lay gasket on clean rim start all 16 bolts, thread them up at least 1/4". install filter followed by pan. start bolts by hand using extension and had tighten. using 1 hand go in a crisscross pattern and tighten, 1 HAND! DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, you'll smash the gasket and get leaks.6) follow manual for fluid and capacity for make and model. check after driving for ~30 min, park, leave running and check fluid level. check often for a couple of days on level surface.don't be cheap on this one, i've got 190k on mine, it will be the last filter. perfect fit! i did not replace the filter seal, mine was still in great shape. i refilled 5 qts of valvoline dex/merc in my ole tranny, hell it lasted this long, why not. 07 and up will be dex 6. wally and amazon carry both.

Good

Amazon says "fits your van," but it doesn't. Not even close. I suspect the filter they sent is for the six cylinder model, me I'm running eight cylinders. It was on sale, package damaged but good condition, and it was, but it's just not right. This is the second sale/used item I've had with problems. The other didn't have all the parts.

Good quality filter and gasket but does not fit my 06 Trailblazer LT 4.2 despite Amazon parts fit check saying it does. The gasket fits fine but corner angle of the filter prevents the pan from closing. As stated, this filter fits shallow pan so be careful if you have a deep pan and Amazon states it fits.

I have a 2008 Chevy Colorado. Replaced the transmission. This filter fitted perfectly.

This does not fit the 4WD Chevrolet Colorado. After investigating further, this fits only 2WD models. The 4WD version of this filter fits a more narrow pan to allow room for the front driveshaft. I found out too late to be able to return. Don't make the same mistake! Amazon got me this time.

Just be advised, since the picture shows something different...the gasket I got was in fact cork. Worked just fine, but I know a lot of people prefer newer/improved materials.
