I'm in the middle of changing the oil and filter in my VS with the 4L60E auto trans. When I removed the filter, the seal stayed in the trans and I'm having trouble removing the seal. The new filter has the seal pressed onto the tube bit which slides into the trans. I've tried fingers and then a piece of copper tube with ledge on it to grab the seal (it is not an O ring)....and been very careful not to score or scratch the sides of the 'hole'. Is this a common problem and is there any easy way out?.
By the way, I found quite a bit of slimy stuff on the magnet and some of the same coating the bottom of the pan....but no slivers or anything bigger than one micron. Any advice appreciated.
