Transmission Pan Sealant Thread
I need to know what you guys use. I need a good transmission pan sealant. Seems like everyone i look at has some sort of one-off which always leaves me doubting its capabilities. I tried calling the trans shop and they use some sort of industrial use sealant that they can only procure - So what do you use?

+1 on taping on the bolt holes to flatten the pan, and rubber wix gasket that comes with the filter or a felpro rubber gasket, or the mopar reusable gasket, FTW. Install new gasket , torgue to 13ft pounds and recheck torque a couple days later and at every engine oil change. Check VC bolts too at every oil change.

i tried all those options; rubber gaskets, sealant, no sealant, cork, EPDM, even special ordered a viton. I used the cross bolt pattern recommended by Hayes and Mopar. Checked and double checked torque spec, even had my torque wrench calibrated. New pan, old pan, checked all surfaces on a flat slab table - all leaked. Cleaned all surfaces by hand using red scotch pad, no sandpapers, power tool, pnuematic tools, or even hand tools - minus the gasket scrapper - all leaked.
Kejobe - i almost picked up the ultra copper per O'reilly's salesman - it states do not use on rubber gaskets. See what I mean? Hence the question. I guess I am retarded
