The exclusive 3rd Hand Pan Gasket is an innovative gasket solution invented by ATP. It features slightly undersized bolt holes that hold pan bolts in place during installation, which can be identified by small tabs on the outer perimeter. The “3rd Hand” retaining feature makes a cumbersome installation process much easier.

The material composition of the gasket is also unique. The fibrous gasket swells slightly with the first heat cycle, preventing any leaks long term and filling in imperfections on the pan and transmission surfaces. The feature also ensures transmission pan bolts do not loosen over time due to the expanded gasket.
