Asked by rodeo86 Jan 06, 2015 at 12:34 AM about the 2001 Isuzu Rodeo

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

have 2001 isuzu rodeo 2.2L automatic, and im currently replacing the transmission
gasket for the pan that  has the drain plug and fill plug, upon me doing this i discovered
another pan that sets infront of this pan except it just alot smaller and has a
rectangluar shape. I see they make a gasket for it and they call it the transmission oil
pan.. since i dropped my transmission pan and replaced gasket does that affect the
smaller pan if i choose not to replace the gasket and what are the contents in the
smaller pan?

I think I know what you're referring to. It's the valve body of the transmission, what I like to call the brain. There are probably a dozen bolts holding it in place. It has channels, holes, pistons, springs, check balls, etc that guide ATF through it which enables the transmission to shift.

yea i believe we have the same understanding as far as what is is, can the gasket be changed and does it contain any liquid if so does that substance need to be change dure to the fact that i changed transmission fluid
