Re: replace gasket 700r4

When I do a tranny pan, I use a 1/4" drive ratchet and long extention with a short socket. That combination keeps me from overdoing the torque on the pan bolts. Tighten them to a snug condition in a cross pattern on the pan and then go around and snug them one last time to set the gasket crush. The 1/4" drive extention will get into many spots that the 3/8" cannot slide through. You may have to loosen the rear tranny mount bolt and lift the tranny slightly, but that is all.
