seal between the transfer case and tranny ?
Last time I swapped the tranny I got a gasket that I think was actually for a gm because I and the guy didn’t know there wasn’t a gasket for dodge tranny’s so what do we seal it with ? Does it not need anything ?
Im swapping a good rebuilt tranny in a truck that just needs a tranny and want to know if the gasket will hurt anything ? Or if I need to seal it at all ?
After the swap in the truck before this one it had engine problems so I don’t if the gasket would give me problems or not.

If you seal off the weep whole between the trans and transfer case and the trans output seal leaks it will/could fill the void between the two or even start to fill the tcase. Basically, you could run your trans low on fluid and not know it.
A gasket could work but no RTV silicone. you want to keep the weep hole open.
