Transmission pan gasket ques
just replaced all 12.4 quarts of fluid but had a hell of a time with the pan with the exhaust. Ended up leaving the filter in and will revisit in 10k miles or so. fighting with exhaust and filter, I forgot to change the gasket. Pretty sure the gasket got wet with ATF while the fight was underway. I saw it was moist last night so I dried it up as best I can. I can't remember what it looked like this morning but checked at lunch and it's still moist. It doesn't come off red on my hands and the pan and everything around it is still dry and not red so I'm thinking the gasket is still moist from the process (got kinda messy). Any reason for concern?

it's a hell of a lot easier to do the pan and gasket with the y-pipe off. You can stick a pry bar in between the trans and the shift cable bracket and bend it out of the way enough to give you some more room. then just bend it back when you're done. that metal is thick enough it won't fatigue easily from one or two times.
