My PPE transmission pan: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I just did the third drain, so that I could swap out the o-ring on the drain plug. (Drain 1 was the pan swap. Drain 2 was the leaking gasket that I re-used...due to the instructions. Sigh. I used a new o-ring then, a brown viton one. and that leaks.)

Drain resulted in 4 1/2 quarts coming out. (Remember, the PPE pan I have states that it adds one quart to the capacity.) YMMV.

When I removed the drain plug, the viton o-ring was bound up in the threads. I am SURE that it went on smoothly. Shrug.

I've done 3 drain and fills. I have a new pan on (with a second gasket). The drain plug is on its third O-ring: first was PPE's green; second was Viton brown (from PPE) that leaked; third is another Viton brown (from PPE).

I also flushed the brake fluid. Thinking about coolant...
I foresee three brake fluid flushed and four coolant flushes in your future. Just to keep the trend going. :p
 
My newly arrived ppe pan came with an oem mopar gasket.

I sent a thread link to PPE's customer service. I never got word back from them. ;) Maybe they read it and are making a change?

Regardless, glad to hear you got what is needed to do a pan swap.
