Re: [AMC-list] Borg Warner Flash-O-Matic Transmission Question

[Richard Morgan <edatlarge@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

Thanks for your reply.  (as copied below) The pickup screen applied  
without the gasket would only raise up the pickup draw point by the  
thickness of the gasket which is about 1/16 of an inch (maybe less  
when compressed down).  I think you are right about the gaps (if any)  
are very small.  As long as there is no apparent vacuum or suction  
issues created or needed by a tight gasket seal, I'm guessing that I  
am OK.  Any other thoughts.  I'm holding off proceeding forward until  
everybody has a chance to comment.

Thanks,

Rich Morgan

How high is the filter, as in how much higher will the trans draw  
fluid from if it is drawing from the area where the gasket should be?  
That is the only main thing to worry about as the slight lack of seal  
around the screen is probably not any larger than the screen holes  
are. *** Mark ?Li la li Li la la la, li la li?(Paul Simon-The Boxer)
