I just recently Installed a TCI trans pan and was wondering about the bolts that came with the kit? I received longer than stock allen head bolt with no type of washer, as compared to the stock tranny pan bolt. I was wondering if these allen head bolts will work or should I go to the hardware store and pick up some washers? There dosen't seem to be much surface area with these bolts. Another thing does anybody have any idea on what torque specs are used on a aluminum trans pan? And lastly I noticed that this TCI pan sits about an 1/8" lower than my long tube headers, and well I scrape my headers all the time, I was wondering if the pan scrapes the road what proablems will I have? Any Info will be greatly appreciated.

 

A cracked and leaking transmission pan. Aluminum does not bend like steel but will crack. Good luck.
