OEM Auto Transmission Pan Gasket for 1996-1998 Nissan Pathfinder models. 

The Auto Transmission Pan Gasket is a crucial component that forms a seal between the transmission pan and the transmission housing. Its purpose is to prevent fluid leaks and ensure proper transmission operation. Over time, the gasket can become worn, damaged, or develop leaks, which may necessitate its replacement.

Here are some signs that the auto transmission pan gasket may need to be replaced:

• Fluid leaks: The most obvious sign is the presence of transmission fluid leaks around the transmission pan. If you notice puddles of reddish fluid beneath your vehicle or signs of fluid accumulation on the pan, it may indicate a failing gasket.
• Low transmission fluid levels: If the gasket is worn or damaged, it can lead to fluid leaks, resulting in low transmission fluid levels. A sudden decrease in fluid levels without any apparent reason may indicate a gasket problem.
• Transmission slipping or shifting issues: A faulty gasket can cause transmission fluid to leak, leading to reduced hydraulic pressure and affecting the transmission's ability to shift smoothly. You may experience delayed or erratic shifting, slipping gears, or difficulty engaging gears.
• Visual inspection: If you remove the transmission pan for other maintenance or repairs, it is a good practice to inspect the gasket for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. If any issues are found, it is advisable to replace the gasket.
