ACDelco Gold TF289 Automatic Transmission Fluid Filter Kit

Transmission pan was leaking so I decided to fix it and this item worked out great. I changed the filter and installed the new gasket. So far no leaks and the transmission has been running well.

2001 chevy silverado 4.3 V6 shallow pan with 16 holes.this is one job you dread doing! its fairly simple and a little messy. google " 4l60e transmission and filter change" and watch some youtube for tips. here's my shadetree experience,1) latex gloves, lots of cardboard, shop towels, trash bag and oil catch pan.2) socket set, flathead, pry bar, mallet or hammer and block of wood. ramps make it a lot easier!3) i striped my drain plug, its a common problem, so this i what i did. loosen bolts and take out the bolts from 1 rear corner, let drain. when done take all bolts out except 1 middle bolt rear and 1 passenger side front. leave both loose where you can get a 1/4' clear tube in pan and siphon out the remaining oil, go in from the front drivers side. works best when tranny is WARM. takes about 1 hour for ~4.5qts in pan.4) clean inside pan with paint thinner. remove gasket with razor. small brass brush helps get gasket residue off pan.5) put gasket under something heavy and flat couple of days before install. lay gasket on clean rim start all 16 bolts, thread them up at least 1/4". install filter followed by pan. start bolts by hand using extension and had tighten. using 1 hand go in a crisscross pattern and tighten, 1 HAND! DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, you'll smash the gasket and get leaks.6) follow manual for fluid and capacity for make and model. check after driving for ~30 min, park, leave running and check fluid level. check often for a couple of days on level surface.don't be cheap on this one, i've got 190k on mine, it will be the last filter. perfect fit! i did not replace the filter seal, mine was still in great shape. i refilled 5 qts of valvoline dex/merc in my ole tranny, hell it lasted this long, why not. 07 and up will be dex 6. wally and amazon carry both.

Good

I spent a long time choosing the right parts, entered all the details of my Yukon XL, but unfortunately, it still didn’t fit.

Just be advised, since the picture shows something different...the gasket I got was in fact cork. Worked just fine, but I know a lot of people prefer newer/improved materials.

I have a 2008 Chevy Colorado. Replaced the transmission. This filter fitted perfectly.

This does not fit the 4WD Chevrolet Colorado. After investigating further, this fits only 2WD models. The 4WD version of this filter fits a more narrow pan to allow room for the front driveshaft. I found out too late to be able to return. Don't make the same mistake! Amazon got me this time.

Got exactly what I expected from Ac Delco.Good quality product, highly recommend.
