Installed filter but forgot...
I just changed my tranny fluid and changed my filter but I just looked in the box and I left the 2 rubber o rings out. Do I have to do it again or am I alright? Thanks

if there are no O-rings on the filter then pull it back apart IMMEDIATELY and put them on and put it back together. without a good seal to the filter the tranny wont pull fluid up properly and it will starve and not be good.
