C3 [74-UP] Automatic Transmission Filter Kit with Pan Gasket

When a C3 automatic transmission teardown is under way, having the correct Automatic Transmission Filter Kit with Pan Gasket ready at the same time as the rest of the work removes one of the most common delays in a rebuild bay. This two-piece set -- SKU -- is specific to the C3 and covers units produced from 1974 onward, pairing the 87-style Automatic Transmission Filter with a cork bottom pan gasket sized for that same application.

The Automatic Transmission Filter handles fluid pickup at the bottom of the valve body circuit, and the cork pan gasket seals the bottom pan once the fluid is back in. Neither piece does its job well if it is the wrong profile for the unit, which is why both are chosen for the C3 specifically rather than pulled from a general-application bin. REMCO has been working in automatic transmissions since 1991, and each set is put together here by hand, piece by piece, and checked against its parts list before the box is closed. A printed packing list ships inside so the technician can confirm both pieces are present before the pan comes off the bench.

What this set does NOT include: friction discs, steel plates, bands, o-rings, seals, bushings, or any other rebuild component. If your job requires those parts, they need to be sourced separately. This is an Automatic Transmission Filter-and-gasket set only, and ordering it with that understanding avoids a return.

Before placing the order, verify that the unit on the bench is a C3 automatic transmission from 1974 or later. Check the unit code stamped on the case and confirm the production date. A mismatch in unit code or year range means the Automatic Transmission Filter inlet dimensions or the pan gasket profile may not line up, and no amount of trimming fixes that cleanly.

• Skip the parts hunt -- this two-piece set puts the Automatic Transmission Filter and bottom pan gasket together so your C3 rebuild moves forward without last-minute sourcing delays.
• This set does NOT include friction discs, steel plates, bands, seals, or any other rebuild components -- verify your full parts list before ordering to avoid a return.
• Both pieces are matched to the C3 application: the cork pan gasket seats against the bottom pan and the Automatic Transmission Filter is the correct 87-style unit for 1974-and-up production, not a generic substitute.
• Contents: 1 cork bottom pan gasket + 1 Automatic Transmission Filter (87-type), total shipped weight 1 lb. A packing list inside the box confirms both pieces before you open the bag.
• Before purchasing, confirm your unit is a C3 automatic transmission built 1974 or later -- check the unit code and production date on the case to avoid ordering the wrong Automatic Transmission Filter or gasket profile.
