| Drained the auto transmission on my 59 american,now I`m having trouble finding a place to buy a new trans. filter.Does anyone know if this filter was used in any other transmission or newer model AMC product? I went to two local auto parts stores and they list the pan gasket but not the filter.I hope you guys don`t mind all my recent questions but this is the first Rambler I have ever owned.Thanks again for any help you can give. |

| Best thing to do is to buy a TSM. and if the screen is not damaged, you could clean it and reuse it. |

All you have to do is stop by your local AMC dealer and pick one up.

Seems like about the same time the "gone fishing" sign went up in their window. Fishing must be good. They haven't come back yet.  |

Many of the older (pre 65 or so) trannys use a fine stainless steel mesh screen. If you have that clean it and re-use. If the gasket isn't available, the local Chrysler dealer has a silicone based sealant that won't dissolve in trans fluid. Most new Chrsyler trannys use that instead of a gasket. You can also get Permatex "Right Stuff" at most auto parts stores. It's made to replace traditional gaskets and resists tranny fluid. Don't over do it and squeeze any of the product inside the trans. A little bulge won't hurt though. I suggest getting it in the "power bead" can for a trans pan gasket. The pressurized can gives a much more even bead. Use it without a traditional gasket, not with it! http://www.permatex.com/products/Automotive/automotive_gasketing/gasket_makers/auto_Permatex_the_Right_Stuff_Gasket_Maker.htm ------------- Frank Swygert |

| i cleaned my filters by soaking them in gas then blowing them out with compressed air (a tip from Steve at Blaser Auto). if that's no good I'd try americanpartsdepot.com or Blaser Auto (blaserauto.com) |

| I check NAPA online or go to the store first, then I check JC Whitney. I find that NAPA can locate 99% of the parts I need for my 1975 Hornet w/232. |

First , Matt , too funny ..... The closest thing here to an AMC dealer is my garage ....I'm thinking of buying a sign even... Surprisingly, even for the 35 the filters are everywhere. B;aser, americanpartsdepot, kennedyamerican, Galvin's, Napa, Rockauto .... I still like Rockauto, cause if you have time to have the parts mailed, they can have some cheap prices on maintenance stuff anyway. They have all tune up parts for all of my cars, from 58-87 ..... Someone is listing a filter for an M11 on Ebay for 25 bucks.... rockauto lists them at 4.89 ..... Emissions parts and pre upper ball joint suspension parts are the only issues I've had finding parts so far. ------------- 1986 Jeep Corp Grand Wagoneer |
