Trans filter oil seal delimma

[91babyblue]

Changing filter in 1991 4l60. As I removed the pan, filter came with it. Probably from the weight of oil inside filter etc. the o-ring was stlll up in hole. I tried to put up old filter back .it seemed loose. Probably why it fell so easy.
Is that o-ring up stuck in hole a combination metal rubber one, or is it just the same single rubber o-ring?
When I attempted to remove o-ring , it did not simply pop out like all the videos on YouTube. Nor does it look like it is a steal sleeve shoved in there too.
As I am removing this O-ring , it just came out in bits in pieces ??? Seems to be a steal flange there where o-ring sits in. ?? Is this correct. Was this o-ring just baked in there ??? And that’s why I had a hard time removing it as a whole. ?? Or is this o ring a metal rubber combination flanged lip seal , as described in the instructions of the filter kit I purshased. As UNDERLINED.

I found a thread. My problem is almost exactly like this guy described. ??

If you have the metal sleeve, you will have to hit it on the thin lip with a sharp flathead and a hammer and collapse it. Work around it and eventually you will be able to pop it out.

The first tine I did one I thought it was going to be impossible to get it out. I've done a few since and it's not that bad...

I’m nog sure if it’s a sleeve io there???

I put new filter back up there. It feels snug ?? Would this be ok ?? And can this filter pop out and damage my transmission forever if it pops out on the road. ??

And yes it seems there’s a thin lip up there inside. And not just a straight tube

I thought I had an extra one on my parts stash, but I don't.

It's a metal sleeve with a flanged lip on one side and rubber inner part on the other end.

Thx for replies yes. Slight frustrate. Through gandering and pondering, I stuck that filter up there with another’s o-ring. O-ring is just sitting against upper sleeve and o-ring tat I chewed off. It’s like putting two o-rings but I only have one io there. That filter ain’t coming out of there. A hurricane would not budge it. There’s no way that thing filter should fall out. I’d be heading to my grave with that tranny. lol. I hope. Thx
