I figure the transmission case is quite stiff and not much prone to flexing. Plenty of bolts to hold it all together. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,758 #3 Posted March 25, 2022 I've never has to use any gasket cement... just put the gasket on dry. Your discretion though... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,857 #4 Posted March 25, 2022 The factory never used sealant, and neither do I. Just make sure it is clean and smooth, you will thank yourself if you have to ever take it apart again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,750 #6 Posted March 25, 2022 I use a thin coat of gasket sealer on mine. it's a PITA to get back off if you need to open them back up again, but a Scotchbrite wheel on a 90 degree die grinder makes short work of it. https://www.amazon.com/Permatex-80015-Form-Gasket-Sealant/dp/B0002UEOU0/ref=zg_bs_15719581_21/144-4897151-0344826?pd_rd_i=B071QWMQM2&psc=1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
