New Tranny Pan

Installed the "new" tranny pan in the Jeep tonight. Well, new to us anyway - don't want the jeep thinking that we're adding all sorts of bling for no reason! I ordered a used tranny pan, gasket and filter from Drivetrain.com and saved a couple bucks compared to a new shiny one from Summit Racing. After crawling under the jeep and holding up the replacement pan, I also confirmed that I guessed right and we've got a Torque Flite 999 transmission.

Here's the start of the adventure:
Couple of minutes later, the old pan is out and put next the the "new" one:
Can you tell which one is which? (The bottom one is the old one and in person looks much worse than the picture). In the course of reinstalling the new pan I learned one of the bolts is stripped and can only be hand tightenened and that was likely the cause of the leak. Putting a new pan, filter and gasket were probably overkill but you never know what's wrong until you get into these things. I buttoned everything up, put the stripped bolt in hand tight, topped it off with fresh ATF and fired up the jeep. As expected, within a few minutes the pan started to weep where the loose bolt was but a lot less than the flow it had before. Luckily, I can put a throughbolt and nut in that location and we'll be all set.

Pulled the jeep off the ramps, changed the air filter and ran some gumout through the carb and the throttle response is much better now. Took a quick lap around the block and parked the jeep for the night. The tranny pan leaked a good bit more after it warmed up but it's only from the corner of the loose bolt and that will be fixed tomorrow.
