on the factory pan there is no drain plug. and its very possible they may have sent you the wrong gasket. have you tried flipping it over and turning it inside out. sometimes you have to play around with the tranny gaskets to find the right way to install

thats what i thought for the fluid... i took the gasket back and then he looked at all the others on catalog... we found one that is a different style but noone had it in stock... its deffinetly not the right one because theres some notchs and one of the corners is at a point. my pan has all four rounded corners... you guys ever heard of two different types of pans for the 4L60E?

i think i figured it out... there is a 4l60e dp and a 4l60e sp... i need the sp which i am assuming the difference is deep pan and shallow pan...
