About to put aftermarket pans with drain plugs on both the Burb and the Vic. The instructions for both vehicles tranny filter kits specifically state not to re-use the gasket and not to use any type of gasket maker or silicone. When I did the tranny filter (but forgot to put my new pan on) on the Suburban like a month ago I actually re-used the old gasket that was very stuck on the stock pan and didn't use any sealer, and it's not leaking.
I'm going to be doing the one on the Suburban myself but I'm going to be having a shop do the one on the Vic (but I will be supplying all the parts and fluids) and I'm just wondering whether I really should avoid the silicone, or should use it. Thanks.
