FT1220 Internal Transmission Cartridge Filter Review

Ideal for Corolla 2016. Before installing I left the pad on the table for a few days. 19 screw holes. Torque up to 48 in-lbs. No leaks.

The filter was an exact replacement for my 2013 Corolla but I was very disappointed with the new gasket. Usually the holes in the gasket are drilled slightly smaller (perforated?) to allow the bolts to lodge in the gasket and hold it in place while the oil pan is reassembled to the transmission. These holes were large and didn't hold the screws in place. As a result, it was extremely difficult to reinstall the transmission pan. I am very disappointed in Fram. They usually make great products.

The seal is unusable as it is not in one piece but in 4 separate parts glued together (the seal breaks by the heat and pressure of the transcase). I ordered two and unfortunately installed one on my car (need to remove and replace with a one piece gasket). The second had already broken off at the glue points when the box was opened. I had to return for a refund. I called Fram to see if this was a new design and was told Fram never makes these seals. I don't know where Revane could get it. There
