The Dreaded Tranny Pan Leak

CudaFactHackJob said
No sealer, Duraprene gasket at $3.50, and not a flat pan rail. Pooch up the bolt holes so they preload the area between the holes. Been doing it for years; works every time.

Don't you mean pooch the holes DOWN in relation to the transmission? That would preload the spaces between the holes that need to seal...
