gasket/ O ring rubber did not come off when replacing 93 lincoln towncar automatic transmission filter, it seems like it was really stuck to the metal, I picked most of it off but residue appears to be still on the sides, circled in red, and I am also confused as to the area circled in yellow, there is rubber but it seems to go into a crevice around the area in red and am not sure if it is apart of the filters gasket/o ring and seems to be really stuck in there. i don't want to double gasket, but am not sure if the yellow area is a concern, I originally thought it was all one piece and tried to take the rubber ring off from the yellow area at first, so some of it is now removed, i am also worried about bits of plastic that may go into the transmission possibly. it was an easy job until I ran into this. any help is appreciated. more pictures in next post.
old and new, the new one slides in fine as it is, but am worried about double gasket/plastic bits, would driving less than a quarter mile to the mechanic shop be do able? after putting the pan back on and adding fluid of course.
/o/, or better yet, some panther forum but you havent even found the part of PrepHole for this so just frick off for wasting a thread.
Seriously.
thanks for the suggestion, where is the panther forum? will post on PrepHole.
The internet, it will be a sitehosted bt a different domain. This is an imageboard, not a forum. I am astonished at your ability to make it through the day without being hit by a bus if you have to ask where a forum is.
Wtf.
Be nice to the newbies, he's doing it himself
Half the frickin time some tryhard has a panther general going.
I only respond with accurite and context specific hate to head off morons searching the forums you should be and regurgitating posts here with no real knowledge.
I hope this helps. I hate all of you.
But holy frick, post on aut/o/
Find a solvent that works on the chunks you have. And then apply. Fortunately, gravity is on your side.
here is an updated picture, been picking away at it with brake cleaner and my picking tool for a couple hours, could use a smaller one but I believe I got to the metal behind all the rubber, it's very difficult to get out. should it be safe now? I don't see how I can clean it out anymore.
That's probably fine. A mechanic would be satisfied. Your new gasket is supposed to fill in those little bits anyway.
As
points out, acetone a d a Q-tip is kino. If acetone is a successful solvent test on the chuck of old gasket you've got. It'll also evaporate so you probably won't have to flush. Just make sure it dries.
You done good, Anon. Be proud.
Acetone and a q-tip is king.
Just be very careful cleaning that off. If you get any of the old ring inside, you will definitely want to flush that out. Every troony service manual is always saying how any debris inside will destroy these. Ymmv literally, just be careful.
