Review on Advanced ATP B-327 Automatic Transmission Filter Kit: Boost Performance & Durability by Adam Jackson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Gasket is terrible for filter and gasket kits

I installed this on my 2006 Xterra and I regret the quality of the gasket. I did a cooler bypass for the gearbox. My Xterra has about 80,000 miles on it so I figured now would be a good time to change the filter and fluid. I used about 5 liters of gear oil for this job. The correct torque for the oil pan bolts is 70 in-lbs. I tested this with a torque wrench while removing the bolts. The crappy gasket, as others have mentioned, pops out as you slowly tighten the bolts. I could only tighten each bolt to 30 in-lbs and the gasket was already sticking out! That's not even half the factory torque. I sincerely hope that the liquid will not spill!**************************************** ***** ****** **************************************** ***************************************************** ** ********* **************** ********** The day after installation: Needed a tow truck from my work place wife to my house so i can fix it. The entire contents of the automatic transmission leaked out of one of the "bulges" in the gasket. Luckily I noticed the leak after she left for work and decided to fill up the transmission during her lunch hour. The leak was too big to drive home. The entire underbody of the car is covered with automatic transmission fluid. And it's not a cheap liquid. I used Matic-S compatible fluid at $8 per liter. Lowering my rating from 3 to 1 star. If I could give zero stars I would. I will order a Nissan OEM seal. I hope the transmission has not suffered from a lack of fluid.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • So-so
