Gasket or washer for transmission drain bolt?

Fizzer600 · Oct 31, 2024

I am changing my transmission fluid for the first time. Is there a gasket or washer I should be buying as well for when the fluid is changed?

No OE washer. I used a generic copper crush washer. Could use Teflon tape. Or nothing like it came from the factory.

Perfect, thank you!

I don't use anything on it. If nothing is on it from factory then you shouldn't need to put anything on it.
