[Shotimes] ATX Tranny Filter

[Paul Nimz]

The non-SHO filter will work but it will fit loosely due to the smaller neck
gasket.  Did it once, won't do it again for a couple of dollars.

Doesn't your pan have the rubber gasket?  I have never used a cork gasket,
always still use the original OEM one after 100k miles and several changes.

That's why there is none in the Ford filter as they recommend using the
original gasket.
