I'm thinking of changing the transmission oil filter on my 99 XJ with automatic.(AW-4)
Since it's almost at the 100,000mile mark, I figured it was time to change the filter, although I've been good about draining the pan and replacing the fluid several times.
It looks like the pan doesn't use a gasket. I get the feeling it uses only silicone. This makes me think 1) it will be a pain to remove without denting the pan, and 2) makes me question whether I want to install the cork gasket or use silicone again.
The transmission is completely dry... there's absolutely no leaks from the pan or any other part of the trasmission. The cork replacement gaskets always seem to leak after some time.
Any suggestions as to what to use?
Thanks,
