Did yours come with the white plastic "T" to fit on the inside of the bottom fill port? That raises up the level by a bit more. I am a little worried about having a piece of plastic just wedged on there inside my pan. Doesn't seem to clip on or anything.

Yeah I'm thinking I'll do the same.

Have you had any problems with the supplied paper gasket?

No Problems, but I put a thin coat of right stuff towards the outer edge of the pan and on the outer edge of the trans body.

I just went through this entire swap. Whatever you do, don't use the bottom port to check the level on the pan. It will be low. That document is wrong and the depth of the pan should not matter. I found out the hard way and spent 3 saturdays trying to get the level right that way. Fill and check it from the side as normal.
