Whether a DIY-er or an ASE-certified technician, even a relatively simple job like an Automatic Transmission Fluid change and filter replacement can cause problems.

Pioneer knows that every transmission job is critical. That's why we put the best parts into every one of our transmission kits…from a filter kit all the way to the most complete rebuild kit.

And at the heart of nearly every Pioneer transmission kit are two things: a premium Pioneer filter and our Solution3^® trans pan gasket.

A premium-quality Pioneer transmission filter is the best way to protect your workmanship on a transmission overhaul or rebuild. Even on a filter and fluid change, a budget filter can come back to haunt you.

Every Pioneer filter:

• Uses OEM-spec filter material to assure that the smallest particles are trapped and removed before they reach a critical component.
• Is designed for high flow rates, assuring every corner of the transmission is protected and that it's properly cooled.

One of the most annoying parts of any transmission service job is replacing the pan gasket. Many pan gaskets are extremely difficult to install, and that often leads to leaks. Some materials are not well suited for transmission pan applications and can begin to "weep" through the gasket material or leak past the bolts.

• Solution3^® gaskets are made from a solid 90 durometer rubber material – there are no fibers or air pockets to allow fluid to "weep" or leak.
• Solution3^® gaskets are "formable," allowing them to conform to the irregularities of the transmission case flange and the pan.
• A Solution3^® gasket maintains its thickness and has an elastic "memory," providing long stability in service.
• Most Solution3^® gaskets have a "hole-lock" feature, using the mounting bolts to help align the gasket to the pan. The holes are smaller than the bolts, holding the bolts in place for easier over-the-head installations. This feature seals the bolt hole, greatly reducing the chance for leaks.
• Solution3^® gaskets are uncured – installation and the first operation at 150° F+ cures the gasket.
• Operating temperatures of 280° to 290° F will not harm the Solution3^® gasket.
• Should the pan need to be removed for future service, a Solution3^® gasket is easily peeled from the flange or pan without time-consuming and damaging scraping,.

NOTE: RTV or other glues/sealants are not compatible with the Solution3^® material. They will not adhere to the gasket, and may cause the gasket to move out of the sealing area, which may lead to leaking.

Tow a trailer? Have a truck or van used for commercial purposes? Towing and hauling heavy loads adds strain on a transmission. Added strain means greater heat build-up and wear, and that means more tiny particles in the ATF. On newer vehicles with electronic controlled transmissions, the ATF doesn't always pass through the transmission filter, and that can spell trouble.

The solution?

Pioneer's Magnetic In-line Oil Filter (#745119).

• The Magnetic In-line Oil Filter installs quickly in either cooler line
• Removes fine steel particles and dirt, alloys and clutch fibers
• Uses a dual filtration system of a powerful magnet and fine pleated paper filter material
• A safety by-pass valve assures full flow at all times
• A ribbed case design removes heat as the ATF passes through the filter, so the ATF temperature is as low as possible when it re-enters the transmission.

Using Pioneer's line of OEM-quality transmission parts will allow you to finish the job with confidence.

For the DIY-er, you get a professional-quality job with much less hassle.

For the professional, you deliver that quality job your customer expects from you. We know that a satisfied customer is always the best advertising around!
