transmission gasket

[ptbill]

I'm replacing the transmission oil pan on my 904 transmission. Do I need to put gasket sealer on the new seal?
Thanks Bill

Absolutely not

No, but if you value your time and effort, and want to do this job only once until the next time you happen to need to drop the pan, it's well worth your time—even if you're in the middle of the job—to go fetch Chrysler's own really nice double-seal, reusable rigid pan gasket № 4295 875AC. A nice, sturdy new deep pan with unwarped rails can also be had as Chrysler part № 52118 779AD, and they even include a spiffy magnet to catch metallic shavings.

You need the Mopar gasket slantsixdan recommends, or this one: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/...mUb1ZQCckOFYY5KDZ-ZdKTq5-m5shaHS1CxoCTj7w_wcB

Oh, and no sealer! All that does is make the gaskets slimy and they squeeze out, and/or move. Of course with the metal core, that wouldn't be an issue either.
