Beck/Arnley Automatic Transmission Filter Kit 044-0398 with OE-fit gaskets & o-rings

The Beck/Arnley 044-0398 Auto Transmission Filter Kit is a complete, OE-spec replacement filter kit that includes all required gaskets and o-rings for a correct transmission service.

When servicing an automatic transmission, using a kit that matches the original equipment specifications reduces the chance of leaks, contamination and premature wear. Beck/Arnley designs this kit to meet foreign nameplate OE form, fit and function, and the package contains the sealing components needed to perform a proper filter change. Installers and DIYers will appreciate that the kit is application-specific, so the parts align with the vehicle’s transmission geometry and sealing surfaces.

What parts come in this transmission filter kit and why do they matter?

The kit includes the transmission filter plus all necessary o-rings and gaskets so you don’t have to source extra hardware. A premium molded rubber pan gasket is included when applicable, providing a durable sealing surface that resists deformation and fluid leaks under heat and pressure.

• Transmission filter sized to the vehicle’s OE specifications
• O-rings and small gaskets for valve body and housing interfaces
• Premium molded rubber pan gasket (if required for the application)
• Packaging and parts matched to the specified transmission model

How does this kit ensure correct fit and function during installation?

Beck/Arnley engineered the 044-0398 kit to replicate the original part's form and sealing points, minimizing installation adjustments. Correct part geometry means bolt holes, filter mounting surfaces and gasket dimensions align on first try, reducing rework and potential damage to transmission components.

• OE-form filter shape and mounting interface
• Gaskets sized to factory sealing surfaces
• Included o-rings prevent hard-to-find leak sources
• Application-specific kit reduces trial-and-error fitting

Which transmission fluid should I use with this kit?

Always use the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) specified for your vehicle’s transmission. Beck/Arnley notes that the correct ATF formulation is critical for shift quality and component longevity—refer to the Beck/Arnley catalog or the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications to identify the proper fluid type.

• Check Beck/Arnley catalog or vehicle manual for the correct ATF
• Use only the specified formulation for that transmission model
• Mixing different ATF types can affect shifts and seals
• Flush or drain procedures depend on vehicle service recommendations
