Worked Saturday morning to get the pump back in - success! Had to file a few thousandths off the transmission connection for it to fit... Thanks to Gary OH for that info; I guess the new gaskets are just a little thinner.

Speaking of thinner, now that it is back up and in and most importantly WORKING, the pump pan now leaks considerably more. I switched to the 134D fluid which looks quite a bit thinner. I'd tear it apart again and put some blue sealant on the bottom pan but I don't think I want to go through last week's trials again.

Congratulations!

For what its worth, take a week off, get a new gasket and try again when your good and rested. I'll bet you money that the whole thing will go easier and you will get the gasket in place, in one piece and the cover won't leak when your done. No sealant required.

What part did you file on? If it came out it would have gone back in. Just have to find the right place like a puzzle.

Not a good idea to use glue on the base gasket. It is designed to grip the metal so it doesn't blow out under pressure and the glue will act as a lubricant and it will let the gasket slip under pressure and blow it out.

Are you sure you got all the old gasket off both mating surfaces?

Assuming the pump width was exactly the same when it went in as when it came out then you'd be right. I reckon the gaskets used in the pump rebuild were the slightest bit narrower. Using a file on the cast iron edges that meet the pump let it go in easier - not easiLY, but easiER. I tried without filing for 4 nights with no go.

Yep, 100% sure I got all the old gasket off. The mating pieces were shiny clean. I don't know how the pan & gasket could ever be put in place in this case without some sort of cement affixing the one to the other. Even the "plaid boys" say so in the video, but I tried anyway without using it & went through 3 of them getting bent or torn before getting the cement out!

YMMV! Jake,

I know exactly what you went through and I have fouled my share of gaskets too trying to get one of those things back up.

What ever works is the way to go!

Good luck and hope you don't have to pull it off again any time soon.
