Idiots like Chrysler?RTV and automatic transmissions usually don't mix together too well. Though there are some idiot manufactures that require it on their transmissions. Not smart.
What do you think about Permatex "The Right Stuff" I have had good look with that were RTV has been need (SBC intake ends, 3800 intake corners)Roughly a 3/16" uniform bead, I recommend using the correct Mopar RTV as well.....68RFE units used in Ram pickups still use RTV to seal the pan so it's readily available.
ATF and Gear oil require specific RTV‘s due to the deterioration caused by the FM chemistry. OEM’s have always specified am ATF specific RTV and a gear oil specific RTV for this reason.What do you think about Permatex "The Right Stuff" I have had good look with that were RTV has been need (SBC intake ends, 3800 intake corners)
To me it seems the same as Honda Ultra Flange II which has been a very reliable sealant in my experience.What do you think about Permatex "The Right Stuff" I have had good look with that were RTV has been need (SBC intake ends, 3800 intake corners)

Oh and like the F-150 oil pan gasket fiasco, to properly use RTV on an in the vehicle automatic transmission it needs to drip for a few days with the pan off, so no fluid gets on the surfaces. Have fun.
Service records indicate fluid and filter have been done at least once, and it went back for a leak. Old pan had a rubber gasket with RTV on the pan side. For what it's worth, it was a perfect seal. No dampness anywhere.I wouldn't.
Did the factory gasket have RTV on it?
I was going to recommend some Permatex "High Tack" on the pan side of the gasket and a Felpro rubber impregnated paper gasket. All you have to do is lay the gasket on a spread out news paper with the pan side facing up, and spray it down. That'll allow for a bond between the gasket and that glossy smooth gasket surface you have on the pan.Service records indicate fluid and filter have been done at least once, and it went back for a leak.

No, use Hylomar as a gasket dressing.You mean use Hylomar M instead of a gasket?
On both sides of the gasket?No, use Hylomar as a gasket dressing.
If a dressing is desired, yes.On both sides of the gasket?
Ok cool. I've heard somewhere that Honda doesn't even offer a pan gasket for their cars; that you have to use Hylomar by itself.If a dressing is desired, yes.
Only time I use a dressing is if the surface is in less than perfect condition. This usually stems from someone using RTV on the pan when it should have been a gasket.
Every Honda oil pan I have ever r/r’ed was sealed using RTV.Ok cool. I've heard somewhere that Honda doesn't even offer a pan gasket for their cars; that you have to use Hylomar by itself.
It depends, my old Accord uses a gasket and it's still available from Honda. The OEM pan is designed with the protrusions to limit the gasket compression.Every Honda oil pan I have ever r/r’ed was sealed using RTV.
