Parts for Tranny and More
Here are some numbers to give to parts stores to ensure you get the right stuff. The first filter kit I got I told the guy car make and so on. Got home and it was wrong. After calling other stores, the same part number (wrong one) kept coming up. This way you can call ahead and order if needed. These numbers are for the F4A33 tranny.

The filter kit I prefer is the Beck/Arnley Filter kit. It has a neoprene gasket (black rubber) and works best. Part#044-0245 If you want to go back into the pan and change the shift adjuster you will most likely ruin the gasket. The gasket only, I found two numbers: Fel-Pro #TOS 18703 replaces MD738078 (Mitsu Number). ATP Part#TG107 (not verified*) Other filter kits: Fram Part # FT-1153 (cork gasket) AC DELCO Part# TF 284 (not verified*) ATP Part# JX150 (also not verified*) *not verified means I have cross reference the numbers on the web, so I have not seen or used. The others (fram, felpro and beck) I have purchased and used. |

The RTV I use is Permatex #80016 2BR.
It has worked the best so far for stopping leaks. I check my car a lot
and it does not leak at all (knock on wood). Also, this RTV is black
so it blends in better in most cases.

As for Tranny fluid, I used Mitsubishi Diamond
ATF up until the shift kit. The OEM fluid is more expensive (surprise
surprise) than B&M TrickShift. So, I picked up a bunch from
PepBoys and use it only. Its hard to tell which fluid is better due
to the fact the shift kit was put in at the same time, which of course
makes it feel better.

The Manual Valve for the valve body (people seem to break this a lot while doing shift kit). That number is MD716843. |
 |
Helicoil for the head/valve cover bolts. This will mend the bolts with a 10mm head (IE. Oil Pan, Tranny Pan, Etc.) Kit#5546-6 M6x1 Insert Package Part #R1084-6 You can take the bolt to some auto parts store and they will give you the correct kit for that size. I plan to Heli-Coil the entire head (where Valve Cover attaches) on the engine I am rebuilding. I have read these are coils steel and offer a longer lasting thread. |
 |
This is the O-Ring for the BISS screw. I picked mine up at Sears Hardware (plumbing section) and fixed my idle problem. The old O-Ring went bad due to age and no longer sealed.
The Part Number is 3/8 x 1/4 x 1/16 #5 O-RING It costed 25cents or something like that. |
 |
The fuel Filter I used was this one. It comes with two crush washers BTW. Fram G6553 |
 |
Mopar Combustion Chamber Cleaner (MCCC) Usually 7 bucks a can from your Local Dodge dealer. You follow the directions from VFAQ and it cleans carbon from the valves, etc. Cleans Throttle Bodies nicely also. |
 |
Anti-Seize for those stubborn bolts. Permatex Advanced
Formula Item# 80078. Use them on the turbo to manifold bolts, downpipe
bolts, spark plugs and anywhere else that bolts stick. If you work on
the car a lot this is a good idea.

PB Blaster This is great to soak and free rusted bolts, I also spray it on exhaust rubber hangers to slide them off. Good stuff.

I will post more numbers and stuff as I get them.
