G`day ,
GM 5L40E filter stalk seals the part of the filter that fits into the trans body .
The filter has what are called 2 red seals and 1 white spacer/seal .
Every time i walk past the one in the shed i ponder the question , do the seals stack on top of each other or should there be a space between the 2 red seals ?
The filter i walk past has the white at the bottom a red sitting on top of the white and the other red up near the top of the neck of the spout .
The top red is fixed fast to its position and has not been moved when the filter was withdrawn .
Both the red seals have grooves around their outside like some seals have on their inside .
The bottom red seals groves are mostly still intact .
The top red seals grooves are virtually gone and is almost a smooth surface . ( I presume from the filter moving about ) .
I fitted the new filter with the seals all one on top of the other with no spaces .
The car has only done about 6000 km since the filter swap and it`s not doing anything it shouldn`t that i`m aware of .
For your information it drained just under 7 ltrs and it filled just under 7 ltrs .
I bought 12 ltrs because i had read i should get 2 changes but i think that may have only been for an oil change and not with the filter as well .
If you missed it my question is about the seals .

Thanks Mario ,
as there`s no actual factory guide to the filter change , i thought it possible that the top seal may be super glued on or similar .
When i think about it , it would be about the only way to fit the top seal high on the stalk .
It would automatically want to slide down to the second red which will sit on the white .
Once the filter is pushed home there is no way of knowing where the seals are but i would expect they would be low on the stalk and even if the filter was pulled down again a little way and pushed up again i can`t see how the top seal would be high .
The top of the top red seal is a measured 5mm from the end of the stalk and as i typed earlier doesn`t move , the second red moves up and down easily on the stalk .
Your 3rd pic is of a narrow sump the other 2 with the white are the deeper sump like the RR .
Cheers

Where did you source the filter from?

We don't stock them due to pricing and lack of enquiries,
Since they are a GM transmission you could probably pick them up cheap from Holden. Doing a google on GM5L40E filters I came across this, it lists a Holden part number
Automatic Transmission Filter Kit Holden Commodore 5 Speed 5L40E WCTK100 RTK65 | eBay
G`day , as long as you check you could use it .
The link shows the differences , though yours shows the holden with a white it will possibly have the shorter stay and lack other bits that the RR type use .
I know JC says to use the holden one . I used the oil he suggested but not the filter .
The middle one in the link is the RR one .

On a Whim i bought one of the $10.45 holden ones to have a look at . ( it was on special 55 cents off )
It has no markings on it but it looks the same as the middle one in the link .
Which looks the same as the one i took out and looks the same as the one i put in .
No way of knowing about the actual filter part but the body is right .
