PML INCLUDES ONE OF THESE GASKETS WITH EACH PML 10R140 TRANSMISSION PAN.
PML designed this gasket specifically for our transmission pan for a secure seal to the transmission housing. It is a cork composite material, which is ideal for putting two machined surfaces together.
This PML gasket will NOT work with the OEM pan. The OEM gasket is like an o ring and it will NOT work with the PML Pan. This gasket NOT recommended for any other 10R140 transmissinon pan.
Benefits:
- Cork and rubber composite
- Soft and flexible for sealing two machined surfaces
Thickness is about 0.055 inches.
Why does PML Recommend Cork Gaskets?
PML transmission pans feature heavy duty construction with thick walls so they will not tweak or bend when bolted onto the housing. A cork or cork composite gasket provides a soft, flexible, cushioning layer between the two hard surfaces to make a good seal.
PML does NOT recommend rubber gaskets or any gasket that is molded with a metal insert. These are too stiff and can cause leaks or binding on the bolts when installing PML pans.
Are These Gaskets Reusable?
Cork composite gaskets are generally not reusable. When torqued down, the material compresses to a the seal. Reusing it can lead to leaks.
How Are They Shipped?
PML ships gaskets flat in a cardboard container so that they arrive safely and ready to use. Shipping can be expensive. The web store only offers UPS shipping. Call PML for information on US Postal Service shipping which may be less expensive. Shipping two is almost the same price as shipping one.
