| I am having a rough time getting the old rubber gasket from the last transmission filter completely off. When I pulled the old filter out of the yoke, some of the rubber gasket was still in there.

take a 6 inch (or longer for leverage) 3/8 inch extension and use it to pry out the old gasket. works everytime. be careful not to scratch the bore.

Thanks for the advice. picture this.... the rubber gasket on the end of the filter is fitting into the groves, so I actually have to get something like a a dental pick or pottery pick to get the rubber out of the grooves or threaded areas.  , once the rubber came apart.

| The new filters are fitted with metal rings with a rubber type 'gasket'around the inside and outside of the ring (at least in my 96 transmission they are). I just replaced mine today and I actually found 2 or those metal rings stuck inside the transmission yoke for the filter. I carefully loosened the 1st ring and the 2nd one came out a bit easier. Was there a rubber ring around the old filter after you took out? If not then that's what your seeing after you pulled it off. It actually is a part of the filter and the new filter should have one on it already. |

MANY THANKS MEGAME AND FORDMANIAC!!!!!!!!
thats the problem i was having. I thought that i was scraping the rubber gasket from the yoke, but it was actully the inside of the rubber gasket and not the yoke. When maniac said use an extension i said HMMM lets see what happens, and whammo the old piece popped right out. I never realized that the old Oring had a metal core. THANKS A TON FELLAS  BOTH ME AND MY TRANNY THANK YOU GUYS!
