how to trans service
#21

Found this eBay seller selling the pan and the bolts for cheaper than any source I found before. The previous one I ordered from Germany. Plus these bolts are normal 6 points heads so the next service will be easier with a ratcheting box end wrench. I just received 2 of these and they are a direct fit. Installing this weekend.

Thanks for all the great information.
A few questions.
1. Mechatronic seal adapter will fit all 6HP26, 6HP28 and 6HP32 transmissions. What is this for? Does it not already have this part installed to begind with?
2. A plastic bag for a gasket. This lost me, I thought you just put the gasket on the pan and then bolt it on. Not sure what the plastic bag does.
3. You loose 1 Quart over stock pan. Is this a big deal? Will it cause the tranny to run hotter vs the original pan?
The question which is better 7 quarts of older oil or 1 quart of new oil answer to this would be 7 quarts of old oil over being low 6 quarts with new.
Not sure the point where less new oil becomes a liability there is one no doubt.
