Hot in neutral, yes.

The dimensions of the "new" filter are off by .030" from the round hole with gasket to the bolt hole. It doesn't mate with the small hole on the valve body.

Went and got another filter this one's made in Taiwan. The gaskets on this filter are more than twice the thickness as the chinese one. I could feel the gaskets compressing when tightening the bolts this time.

Yeah, Permatex "gear oil rtv maker" grey. I've used what's in the tube twice on my 8.25"cover and it leaked both times, but I tightened them down right away. I read the directions today, it says finger tighten bolts, wait an hour, and then torque to spec. I waited the hour when I did the tranny pan this morning.
