My shop is using the newer gray gasket
maker / sealant. Permatex # 85144. No gasket needed. John Hervey From:
I have a
slight automatic transmission fluid leak around the cork gasket that is
sandwiched between the transmission fluid pan and the transmission
itself. I imagine it's a result of some imperfections in the pan mating
surface, but the overall effect is the gasket looks saturated and any wires or
structures that happen to brush up against the pan side end up wicking off this
fluid, which then slowly drips on the ground. The leak is very slow, a drop or
so an hour. The thing is, this eventually leads to me having to put more tranny
fluid in to keep it topped off. When doing
transmission work in the past, I cleaned both mating surfaces,
installed a new cork gasket, and torqued the bolts to spec. So
it's not a situation where the gasket is old. I've got another cork gasket I'm
thinking of installing to stop the leak, but before I do I wanted to get the
insight and experience from those here on the group. I was planning on using
regular blue RTV this time around on both sides of the gasket before
installing. Would this be a good approach? Anyone have a similar experience and
approached it from a different path? Anyone with a different recommendation
because they had to drop the pan at a future date and found a better
solution? Thanks for
your help! -Kevin VIN 2234
