ATP B-327 Automatic Transmission Filter Kit for Jatco RE5R05A | Fits Select Infiniti/Nissan Models

My focus is on the gasket. The holes are undercut enough to hold the bolts on place. Absolutely awesome. Perfect fit for 2013 Nissan Xterra

Gasket is rubber and worked perfectly to replace an old leaking one on a 05 Nissan Titan. I did not use the new screen filter included since the one on the truck looked fine. Installed on a 2005 Nissan Titan, the process was as follows. 1. Remove the 19mm drain bolt from the transmission pan 2. Drain out transmission fluid, then reinstall drain bolt. 3. Undo transmission pan bolts, I believe 10mm, 22 of them. 4. Be careful dropping the pan, extra fluid collects at the bottom of it, and will spill everywhere if the pan is tilted. 5. Drop the pan, pour out excess fluid. 6. Remove the old gasket, I used a razor to scrape off the old gasket which left a nice clean edge. 7. Clean up the gasket area with a rag, also clean the magnets at the bottom of the pan. 8. Note: I did not replace the old filter screen, as the one on the truck looked fine.(Was easier too) 9. Install the gasket on the pan, run a few screws up through the pan before reinstalling to keep it in place. 10. Reinstall the pan finger tightening all 22 bolts, ensure the gasket is lining up properly. 11. Torque each bolt to 70 inch-lbs. NOTE: Inch pounds, do not use a foot pound torque wrench. 12. Re-fill transmission fluid, run the vehicle and check for leaks. NOTE: Proper torque for the transmission drain bolt is 25 ft-lb's.

Like other reviewers have said, the Filter is almost OEM like. Looks like high quality. No issues with the filter. The Gasket, not so much. It's made out of elastic rubber. The OEM one is made out of very much less rubberish material. Auto Zone, Advance Auto Parts, Oreilly, Etc. use rubber ones just like the one that comes in the box. Save yourself the headache and buy the OEM gasket from Nissan directly. I called my local Nissan dealer and they had it in stock. Personally, I like using gaskets if they're gaskets available. You could also use RTV. I installed the OEM gasket and it looks clean and professional! Just don't use the gasket that comes in the box!

This gasket is soft rubber. It fits well and holds the bolts snug before installation of the pan. Do not use any other sealant, clean the pan surface well and wipe clean gasket. Use good parts cleaner spray to clean transmission body mating surface where the pan goes. Locate orientation and place gasket on the pan and start inserting bolts through the pan. The gasket holes are tight and will hold the bolts in place. Now match the pan orientation to the transmission body, raise the pan and start hand tightening the bolts. Be careful using power tool. After all the bolts are inserted all the way lightly its time to start toquing. In a star pattern going across the sides start raising torque 15-20 inlbs each time. If you do not have torque ranch its ok to go without until you start feeling ample resistance. Watch if the gasket is squeezing out of the pan edge than its time to stop. When all bolts are evnly tightened, fill up and run the engine to warm up. Go for a short test drive and look for leakage. After few days of driving go back and retighten if you feel the bolts are losened up a little. Its normal. Daily check the oil level and any drip/leak under the vehicle. Rubber gasket creeps and it may be impossible to go to full torque value in the Car manual which I think is82 in-lb. I was well belkow that around 60. But the Trans oil pressure is low and leaks are rare unless you distoted the pan by not following precautions during the tightening. Star pattern is good to follow at the last few rounds otherwise go around the pan bolts skipping one each time. You can number the bolts and go odd and even numbers each round.

Perfect for the job

Did the transmission service on my 2011 Xterra that has close to 130k miles . Previously done at 100k miles. I read the reviews that suggested the filter was good but the gasket would mushroom up so I ended up purchasing a OEM gasket alongside this kit . I torqued OEM gasket to spec and lifted the car up after filling with transmission fluid only to notice it was leaking....so I ended up using the rubber gasket from the kit . The idea with the aftermarket gaskets is to not torque to spec and instead use a 1/4 wrench with extension and tighten up snug by hand . No leaks so far will update on next oil change when I'll have it up in the air again.

Perfectly well done

Good product, the gasket is very flexible though and is hard to get seated as it moves and flexes consistently.

They worked great,no issues whatsoever

No se ve de muy buena calidad la maya del filtro ni la junta. Pero por el precio no se puede esperar más.

Fit perfect exactly what I wanted for my repair

The original Nissan gasket has reinforcement inside, but this one doesn’t. Because of that, it gets pushed out slightly when tightening the bolts.
