Tomorrow I will be adding some additional Magnets to my Transmission Pan
and replacing the Transmission Pan Gasket on vehicle in Signature.
Normally the Gasket (that comes with the Filter) is Rubber and requires NO Silicon Sealant.
I never had a fluid leak with this type gasket but would prefer not to reuse.
Torque Wrench used and staggered the bolts.
I ended up buying a FelPro and noticed it has a rubbery textured finish.
1/16" thick with holes at up to 3" spacing.
It looks like good quality and I like that it wasn't folded to fit in the box.
Normal maintenance is a Drain / Refill every 10,000 miles using Drain Plug.
I just replaced the Filter and at 150,000 miles, I may never remove the Pan again, but ...
Question: Should I put a thin layer of Permatex Ultra Black (I already have)
on both sides of the Gasket or not ? ? ?
Question: Anybody have a stubborn Transmission leak only fixed by adding Sealant ? ? ?
I always liked not having to do any scrapping when Pan was removed in the past.
But, I'm kind of leaning towards using the Silicon and deal with any scrapping at a later date.
Your comments are appreciated.
