WIX Filters - 58847 Automatic Transmission Filter, Pack of 1

I own a 2002 GMC Sonoma V6 with the 4l60e transmission. I started having trouble with staying in overdrive (seems to be a common issue). After some research, I decided to replace my TCC solenoid and valve. I knew I would need to replace the filter if I was taking the pan off. I wanted a higher quality filter than a no name one I could get at the auto parts store. I was pleased when i found this filter. Great price compared to the national auto parts chains for a high quality filter. I have used Wix filters in all my vehicles for years with great results. I expect the same will be true with this filter over its lifetime. It fit perfectly in my application. Side note- this is for the 4L60E with a deep pan.

Seems to work OK transmission has not failed at this point probably 15,000 miles later

This is the deep pan gasket and is correct form most 4l60e with the deep pan. Filter fits my 97 k1500 GMT400 and 03 burn GMT800. You have a deep pan if there is a step down in the pan to clear the exhaust. Comes with thin rubber gasket which is better than the cork one pictured. Cork gaskets are the cheapest around and will dry out and leak. I’ve reused the rubber pan gasket in the past without any issues or RTV.

This is for a 4L60 with a DEEP pan, not shallow. Wrong fitment for my 1996 suburban k1500 5.7. Still a quality part with everything needed for a filter change. Messy job. Have a wide pan and rags to catch and clean up the mess.

I’m a big Wix customer So I bought it from a transmission, but I haven’t Noticed any difference but if it’s wicks, I know that it’s filtering pretty good. If Wix came out with an oil I would buy it too lol

To get the pan off of the Silverado you will have to remove the linkage on the drivers side with Torx, there are two bolts.Unscrew the transmission mount bolt and jack the end of the transmission with a wood block, about two inches.Unscrew all the bolts on the pan, either the front (preferably) or the back and let it drop some to drain.Remove the other bolts and the pan will come out, if not pump the jack up once.Pull the filter out.The smaller fitting it snaps into can be replaced or leave it if looks fine, (it's not easy to remove without the right tool).Snap in the new filter, it doesn't take much to push in.Clean off any gasket residue both on the pan and transmission.Dab some silicone sealant around the pan so the gasket will stay in place.Screw in the bolts (120 inches per lbs, not FT lbs. It is an aluminum case you're screwing bolts into).Lower the rear section of the transmission tighten up the nut and add 5 quarts.Check it cold, then start up the vehicle and shift through all the gears twice, and check the fluid while the engine is running.Use a degreaser spray bottle to get any fluid split.Then it is beer, wine, water or soda time.

You can see from the photos that the new filter (on the right) is no where near the same size as the original (on the left). However, the pan gasket is nice rubber gasket that fits snug. Return window closed because I waited to do this job. Unfortunately you don't know what the original filter looks like until you drop the pan.c'est la vie

I used this on a deep pan transmission (the one with a drain plug) on a 2000 Chevy Tahoe. It worked well, and the gasket had holes small enough that it secured the bolts while trying to reinstall the pan. This was much easier than previous gaskets I have used on a transmission filter change. One word to the wise...read the insert on the new filter. Make sure that you clean off the old gasket remnants very well and don't use any sealer on the new one. Between that and watching your torque settings on your bolts (just a little more than hand tight--best to use an in-lb torque wrench), and you should be fine.One suggestion for removing all of the old gasket material. A few seconds with a propane torch on the old gasket surface will break down the bond enough to make it easy to remove with a gasket scraper. Even gasket remover wouldn't touch it. Don't use anything sharp. It might damage the mounting surface.
