TH-350C

In changing the transmission fluid:

a) What solvent should i use to clean the inside of the pan?

b) What's the best type of pan gasket to use?  Cork?  Rubber? etc?

c) Best brands of filter, fluid, gaskets etc?

but you can use either as long as the pan is not warped, the mating surfaces are clean, just start all of the bolts before you tighten them and do not over torque them.

Wipe it clean with a rag and then rinse with brake clean or water and soap. Dry it and reinstall.
