Title: Autobox filter O-ring?
Post by tlundkvi on Sep 24^th, 2009, 9:19am

I'm unable to distinct from any of the explosion diagrams of the A4LDE box which is the correct O-ring for the autobox pan filter. They see the same diagrams, can't expect special Scorpio-knowledge at the FMD near by. Does anybody happen to know the Finis of this O-ring and approximately how big this is? And it is not included with the filter? My car is a -95 24V.

Didn't expect it to be that easily found :)

If you buy filter from motonet, you get o-ring as well.

Thanks for the advice! Are both of them included?

Both? ??? for filter and another for screw? can't remember clearly...
In filter package (http://www.motonet.fi/motonet/tuotteet/190257/0) is the filter, o-ring and screw. Filter itself is not OEM so it's little bit different but fits. Everything needed for changing it is included.
sump gasget (http://www.motonet.fi/motonet/tuotteet/190216/1) then is sold separately.

There was two of them (6152081 & 6117033) in the FPUK picture in addition to the filter and sump gasket, but it might be the non-OEM filter has made one of the rings redundant somehow.

Yes, 2 O-rings there's a hole at each end of the filter you can see them in the FPUK picture.

If I remember correctly, with NON OEM filter I needed only 1 o-ring. Not 100% sure. It had also different screw. Whatever, if you buy from motonet, it includes every needed part (I didn't buy any extra parts)

I've not long ago done this job on my 2.3 I managed to match the 'o' rings, (yep there is two) out of an 'o' ring kit at the local Tractor suppliers! The local Ford Dealer couldn't supply they said!

That was weird, but when cheap stuff like that is ordered, they often come in bags of 50 etc. so the one available here might have been old stock. Anyway, if it comes with the 3rd party filter it's quite good.

Guys,

Unless they are really kaput use the original ones, cos some valve blocks use different sizes and if it's not a snug fit it will burn out your gearbox. Failing that get 'em from an auto trans specialist we used to keep loads of them !!
