    Trans filter change

    Hey guys. i did filter change about 3 weeks ago and 2 weeks ago it started shiffting really hard. do you think i messed something up? if the collector is touching bottom of pan, would this cause hard shifting? i used wix filters and castrol atf+4. im getting no codes.

    Did you put a new filter seal on? And if yes, were you able to get the old filter seal out?

    If you put the filter seal on without removing the other one, you need to pull it apart... The collector should not be touching the bottom of the pan so that leads me to believe you didn't remove the original seal.

    It's not really an o-ring. It looks like this:

    Getting that seal out is a PITA... and even popping the new one in is pretty difficult if it doesn't go in perfectly straight.

    If you can't remember, that means you didn't take the old one out. So if you might have put the new one on, your problem is you're not pulling fluid into the trans properly.

    I have rubber O ring that came with my filter. Nothing like what you are showing. May be that is just for the Hemi?

    There are two filters in our trans (4.7L and 5.7L have the same trans)... are you thinking of the one that looks like an oil filter?

    Every single trans I've worked on has the type of seal pictured above on the pickup filter.

    Yeah that gold color seal was a PITA!!! Just getting the old one out was hard. Then I bent the new one putting it in and had to buy a whole new filter just to get another seal. You would know if you swapped out the old one for the new one.
