Need quick help on AutoTran filter
1999, 911, C2 . . . changing Tiptronic ATF and the tranny filter. The old filter, looks original, has a molded plastic inlet held in place with a metal strap. The new filter (not Porsche) does not have the plastic inlet/strap. I figured a way to mount the old plastic inlet/strap to the new filter but there is now about 1/8 - 1/4" interference fit between the inlet/strap and the inside surface of the oil pan. The Bentley manual has an assembly sketch that shows the filter mounted and no plastic inlet/strap. Can I eliminate the plastic inlet/strap? I suspect there is no real need for the inlet. Any ideas???

Hey guys, thanks so much for the feed back. Jay, yes that's the strap. ECS, you are absolutely correct. I will not be using the older plastic/strap inlet.
