Review on ACDelco TF242 Professional Automatic Transmission by Jeff Morris

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality filter, weak/fragile seal.

I liked that it is durable and looks well made. Neat part, good fit. The 2 top tabs that snap into the gear box were a bit difficult to hook in, only one wanted to click/snap. With some liquid on his tongues and 3 gentle but REALLY firm attempts, he stood up. When I tried to put the pan on, the filter fell off. So I repeated the filter installation, made sure the tabs were fully seated, quickly put on the pan with the gasket and turned it to the minimum spec. I added liquid and it came out. argggg. He took off the pallet, cleaned the pallet, threw away the gasket which ripped! applied (specially) rtv Silicone Black Oil Resistant Sealant in a 3/16 continuous roll (see video, there are many) waited 20 minutes, fitted super evenly until the silicone started bulging out of the sealing surface, stopped, let sit 1 hour. Neatly rolled in a star shape, refilled, no leakage. Warning The seal is weak and prone to failure, hence 4 out of 5 points

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Working speed
